Used (MT) Boxster pricing is driving me nuts. I hate that I cannot get what I want. The GTS which I (and apparently a lot of other people) like for the collection of pre-packaged options goes for stupid money.

This one is still overpriced, but...

I mean, c'mon. It was 80k new, and after nearly 5 years and 15k miles they ask for only a 5k discount? It's not even a color I want.

Here's a 2016 spyder with same mileage and color. Asking $88k and people calling it a great deal. WTF.

It makes me think that with MT's becoming increasingly rare, even at close to $100k, a new, custom-ordered GTS 4.0 with Euro Delivery may not be a bad long-term purchase. It may well be that last gen of that type of car.

I'm dreaming. And I'm just frustrated.
