I have a beautiful 02S that's speed yellow with black Victor wheels and carbon fiber trim on the roll bars and interior. In my 3 years of ownership I have never heard any negative comment about mine, or any Boxster. Quite the opposite really.......Here in Atlanta there is a summer monthly car show called "Caffeine and Exotics" that only allows "exotic" cars. For the hell of it I filled out an application several times to show my Boxster in the show. To my surprise I have been accepted everytime I applied and the promoter has told me that my Boxster is welcome anytime.
I believe in the next 20 years or so the 986 Boxster will become a desired classic for the following reasons: Its the 1st Boxster and played an important role in keeping Porsche alive. Its a meat and potatoe sports car without a lot of bells and whistles, especially if its a manual transmission. The flat 6 cyl motor is no longer in production for the car. Look at old Austin Healeys and Jags they are considered classic British sports cars, so in the same way the 986 (or any Boxster will be considered a classic German sports car. Now I don't think that you will get rich for owning a "classic Boxster, but it will certainly be worth a respectable amount depending on how many old nice Bosxters will be around.......If someone thinks my Boxster isn't a real Porsche, or a "hairdressers" car that's their problem, not mine. You cant please everybody ya gotta please yourself.
