I think an early 996 is a good choice if you want to keep your boxster. Thats what I did . I decided against selling the Boxster because it would not be worth nearly as much as i put into it and I still like to drive it . I would have gone with an updated 3.6 996 but a decent one will still cost you about 30K . 996 3.4 cars are hovering just above 20k and i do not see them dropping a whole lot at this point. Also , if you know your boxster well , most of that knowledge will transfer over to the 996 . The early 996 in my opinion is a highly underrated car. The 3.4 makes good power , much more than my 3.2 and sounds fantastic. I would try and look at 2000 , 01 cars as a lot of problems are found on 99 cars but some out there tend to disagree.

my neighbor has a 997 turbo and he agrees that he can never use the power it has under normal everyday driving . I would look at A C4S instead of a turbo , it's a little bit of both cars . most likely my next P-car .
