hey boss...sorry to hear about this. I hope you keep it. I sold my first one, bought my second 356 and missed my boxster so much i bought another one.

I know you have been on these boards for a long time and you have seen the same question come up time and time again and I want to be sure to be real with you but I am zero expert on this. I paid way too much for mine because it was local and I know the story on the car. that to me was worth a bunch... I am sure you know that with these cars...reality is any mods you do will not come back in the form of a huge payday.

it is a 2000s with low miles, which if anyone reads these threads, most are told that low miles are voodoo...but I would assume yours is one that is in perfect condition just by looking at it and knowing your passion for it.

I am seeing people buy these cars on here for dirt cheap...even the S models. I am not an expert but I would say you have to take most of the mods and forget about them and you will probably see 18 to 20K for the car tops...But, I hope with all that you have done, someone on here will snap that thing up and pay you a boat load as it is obviously worth it. I hope you get more than 25K for it. I would have offered you that if not more...but I am not a huge fan of the yellow. It is toooo damn fast looking...

Good luck man. I hope you get what you want for it!

So does this mean the Mayans were off by a year?

I liked that one........

Reasons not to sell:

-you are bored with it (look at all the stripe talk) for now, let it sit until spring
-you will likely replace it (you like performance cars, buying another would be inevitable) and start modding whatever that is all over
-as stupid as it sounds, to a degree that car defines you, unless you've moved on or grown beyond that stage of your life
-it is beautiful. even if it is a 986 it looks better than anything else of that or the 987 series does
-dealing with the schmucks trying to lowball you during the selling process will cause you to commit several felonies
-you will lose your arse, but that is inevitable also when you sell
-etc.
