			Then again, a nice $7500 Boxster (only 75K miles) still isn't that hard to find...

Ok, I understand that the green interior might be a little too much for most people.    
So here is another choice, 120K miles clean car for only $6,300 !!

Only local car for under 7 has serious water damage. I am assuming the fact that my area had few that could afford a Porsche in the late 90s but now the economy has boomed locally so many have new Porsches and many seek old ones, makes the supply and demand in favor for higher prices.

			I think one BIG factor is that the land mine problems such as the IMS now have solutions.  
 Also I think (it could just be me) the Boxster stereotype is wearing off now that there is more of mid-engine offering.
 
 Or...maybe 911 owners are tired of Boxsters beating them at the track and autoX and just decided to join them...hahaha

			I would also suggest that when  Porsche goes all in on flat fours (yech), with ever increasing silly complexity (ala' 981"start-stop" and "coast mode"), light simple flat SIX models like our 986's will become more desirable.

			Jake, Good clean well kept Porsches will keep their values.  With the price of new Porsches going through the roof, it makes the value of our older Porsches stay high.  Plus I believe owners like us tend to keep their cars in much better shape both in appearance and mechanically.
 I have just decided to sell my base Boxster. It is in very good condition for a 2000 model.  Everything works as it should and I expect to get a good price for it.  Check it out in my garage and you may like it.
 
 Good luck with you search.  As others have said, I will keep an eye out for what you are looking for.
