1) Get a 987.1 for c. 20K. You'll enjoy it the few days you can use a car like this, and while it is much less car than any of the 981s, it's far, far less money and will depreciate a few thousand bucks, if at all. The IMS is annoying, but the risk is small and more than made up for by the depressed cost of entry. If you can find a 987.2, great, but as we've discussed elsewhere that's not easy.
2) Just buy a new one. As you say, the 4.0 GTS is a special car, it will continue to be a special car, and when the electric Boxsters come out, its resale will only increase.
3) Buy something else entirely.
I'd love to do 2 but I can't justify it, so 1 makes more sense than anything.

The cost of boxsters played a roll in me getting the 911. There was so little price step up going to the 991.2 vs a similarly optioned/nice 981 that the 981 made no sense. Add on the fact I wanted torque and an emergency back seat and it was a no-brainer.
