I asked in one of the FB groups why Boxster Hardtops are going for between $2000 and $3000 while 996 hardtops seems to be gong for around $800. Some people laughed at the questions, while a few said simply supply and demand. A lot more 996 hardtops were made. That said, one of the guys here in CT contacted me that is wiling to let his hardtop go for $1500. I am not really looking for one unless I come across one at a decent price in my color (black). If anyone is interested, I can get you in contact with him.

Yesterday I saw one on the Palm Springs Craigslist. Guy has one in La Quinta for just a little over a grand.

And they're not racing 996 cabs. It's probably the Boxster Spec guys who are driving up the prices. As the early 986 prices drop, it becomes a cheap vehicle to get into Spec racing. Kind of like the 944 was 15-20 yrs ago.

They use fiberglass tops that bolt to the cage not the stock one
