Depends on some factors. Do you need more than a 2-seater?...eg. Do you have a family to truck around or for grocery hauling? Is your daily commute long? If it's short, maybe you can just get by with winter tires in the snowy season. Your car will not fetch much today. Might be more practical to just get a fun daily that has more space and is good in the snow.

Well your the original owner so you know the car
It's paid for
Assuming its worth $10k - $12k, you could get a lot of piratical used cars for those $$ but not many with less than 25k miles
Fun factor also isn't there for any of them like the Boxster

A set of winter tires and you could be good to go

A lot depends on what kind of carry space you need.

For me most of my daily driving was just transporting me, so my theory was get a car I looked forward to driving

Keep it...

...use it up.

What would you have to spend to buy another car to replace it?

Call up the Tire Rack and buy some snow tires and wheels and start enjoying the Boxster life.

Just drive her.
