What's the nature of your commute to work at your new location? That would be my deciding factor. Here's why: my commute to work is nothing but crappy roads and incredible congestion with stop and go traffic. To make matters worse, I work on a military base, so my commute includes sitting in long lines waiting to get through the security gate.

So, I don't drive my Boxster to work much anymore. It's just too damn hard on the clutch and everything else. Plus, it's no fun to drive a car like this in slow, heavy traffic. If I had at least a clear 15 minutes of high speed freeway driving, I'd drive it more, but that's not the case. I have a nice little Scion with an automatic that is the commuting car. The Boxster is for fun.

If your commute is a nice, wide open drive with minimal traffic, I would say, keep your Boxster. If you went with something cheap and reliable, you would really miss your car. If you have a crappy commute like me, lease a Honda, and save up for a fun car later in life.
