Boxster S

Does this seem a little on the cheap side? It's $36k on kbb.com, from a dealer that is local. KBB suggests it's worth $40k.

Super cheap at least for around here. It even has Nav and the 19's. But not a manual.

If it were a manual, I'd probably be at the dealership right now, even though I'm not in the market for a car. This is the color my wife wants.

I don't really want Nav, but I'm coming to realize that the Boxster I want doesn't actually exist. So I'll have to settle in one way or another.

I mean... is it the color? Both the aqua blue metallic cars on cars.com are among the cheapest of all the non-base cars.

That's one year newer (so a 987.2), 1/2 the mileage and $6k more than what Carmax paid for mine nearly 8 months ago.

Sounds about right...

I haven't been paying attention, but it seems on the low side. Still, now is the time to buy a car like that.

But a wankermatic? Ugh. Might as well buy a riding mower.

Pretty!! Add Nav and make it a 2010 with the same mileage for say 35 and we are done.

Love that black flat bottomed steering wheel.
