Additionally, while I prefer the color and options of my car (also slightly lower mileage at 21k vs. 28k), I realize it has to have a price delta with a GTS two years its junior, it'll be years before the newness gap closes and still an S-GTS gap will remain. This nice black/black only went to $52k.

Which means, I can't get high-40's, more like mid-40's (I would hold out if I were selling).

So yeah, not selling for a while...
First of all I knew you out were not ready to sell and believe me I get that having had my car for 11y.

Secondly I missed the end of the auction on that GTS. Dam that’s not a bad price. I was expecting like 65.

If I was watching it I might have been tempted to bib. Sometimes BAT can surprise you with a good deal like this. That is like the perfect Boxster.

Ok this one just came up in my feed. Not sure about the brown top but the exterior/interior combo is pretty compelling. I usually dont like the Pcar tan interior but this two tone version is nice. I like the wood also. It classes up the interior. This miles are a little high but I dont drive that much and I should be able to make that up over a few years.

My god there are a few newly listed ones out there!!

This is even better then the brown one.

What's up with the brake calipers on the grey one? I guess they were painted black?

I like the gray one. Reminds me of the Gray exterior / Moca interior on my X3. Love that combo.

Great options. Except for PDK...Although, I wouldn't mind that. But, I'd guess PDK is better mated to the turbo engine.

I like the white one. But then again, I like white convertibles and don't want another gray car.

I can't believe nearly 6yo Boxsters are going for (asking) $50k.
