This made my heart beat a little faster. I have the same car with half the miles on it. And a factory hardtop. That's gotta make mine worth 16K+. :dance:

I would never imagined that car would sell for that price. That number probably includes the buyers premium? Maybe old Boxsters are collectible?

I was there. Not sure this will ever be a collector's car, but this 97 base 986 was in very very nice shape, but miles are not exceptionally low. If it was not for the interior, it would never go for $15k. AND, it's a Tip...

What's wrong with a Tip?
