It is really hard to tell what these things are worth. KBB said it was worth 22k-24k. That seems low, and I wouldn't sell it for that. I could not find anything remotely comparable on any of the major private sale forums. Maybe BaT is the right answer here, but I'm simply not in a position where I can be sitting all day responding to asinine comments on their message board, and that seems like the generally-accepted requirement.

It's got some mileage on it, and that really hurts its resale value, despite the fact that it's been very well cared for and is in close to perfect condition. And yes, Boxsters are worth less than a comparable Cayman.

I'm half tempted to take it to Carmax and see what number they throw at me. I'm guessing it'll be something really low (like "We're just going to send this to auction" low) but at least it would be a datapoint.
