Sure enough, the supply dwindles and demand automatically goes up--->classic basic economics! This happens to Fords, Infinitis, Ferraris, etc. The most dramatic change that I have seen in any car is the NSX (I shouldn't have sold it!!!!!!!), the 2004 NSXT is selling for the same price now compared to when I sold it in 2005 (2005 was the lowest point of the car).

Here is another word of advice, once that car is back up on the price curve, it doesn't come back down, so snatch one up quick Jake!
basic price demand elasticity / substitution effect right there

i think that spring summer always creates more interest in convertibles,but i also think that boxsters are now coming up in $,s more$ and maybe pre 06 with replaceable ims will continue to rise in $ if in good shape.im going to hang on to mine as well as my 914.its not the money so much,but fear that it will get more and more expensive to get good examples in the near future.
