Original sticker here is 60,882
Bought the car for 12.5k
Worth a 6th of what it was new, and seemingly close to bottoming out, I don't mind sitting on this car for a few years at all.

My 2000 S was a bit over $91,000 over the curb. The PO gave me the original sales invoice from Pfaff. I nearly crapped myself.
Then he had the dash reworked to add cupholders. Next he had the console done in Arctic Silver when he bought speedster humps.
I bought it 11 years later with 47,000 miles for $19,000.
It turned 56,000 miles yesterday on the way home from Indianapolis.

Jake, mine is a rather lightly optioned vehicle.
It may have something to do with the fact that it's an S, as well as a Canadian market car.
We get so sandpapered up here in the Great White North...

Bought it new in 2001. Window sticker is $59,997. Adjusting for inflation that would be $80,744 in today's dollars.
Out the door cost was $65,194 which would be $87,738.

Ha, you guys got off lightly.....
My Australian delivered Boxster S with virtually no extras left the showroom in 2001 for around $US152,000 (that's 2001 money not 2014 money) which is over 2,5 times the US cost. You had to be seriously wealthy to shell out that kind of $$ for a 2 seater.
Now worth about $US25,000 on the open market if I were to sell it.....

I bought my 2001 S (Black over Boxster Red / Stuttgart build) new for $61,488. I immediately added aftermarket wheels ($3k) and had the dealer install the Porsche Sport Exhaust ($2k). So.....about $65.5k.
In 2009, with 19.5k miles, I sold the car to a good friend for $20k.
A month ago, I bought my car (now with 24k miles) back from my friend for $16k
I then began reading this forum voraciously and started to freak out about owning a low mileage 2001 Box......next stop, the best Porsche mechanic in southwest Michigan. IMS, RMS, new clutch, new rear axles, oil change, all filters replaced....yada yada yada....$5.5k.
This is an expensive love affair:ah::ah:

I think they actually went down in price over the years, I think the 2.5 had a higher sticker then the 2.7

Mine was $47,965 in 2003 (early 2004 run), and I paid about $17,300 for it in December 2010.
Mom's 987 was $49,845 in 2006, paid $28,000 in September 2012 (very nice condition).

Is there anyway of determining MSRP other than buying one of those "certificates of authenticity" From Porsche? My original sticker has been gone for many years amidst 4 owners.
Current PCA member price is $100. http://www.porsche.com/usa/accessoriesandservices/porscheservice/ownerservices/certificateofauthenticity/
Perhaps a list of list prices for all of the many options?
