thanks for sharing the spreadsheet Rob. Based on your calculations on asking price with the cars you had inputted, the average price is $43,492 retaining 63.23% of the original MSRP. Not bad, where is the ceiling? In these crazy times, who knows!

So I am curious if you have an idea where my 20k mile 15 981Boxster 6MT GTS falls into this pricing. Has all the right features including X73 in Rhodium silver over black. I am considering a GT4 in its stead. It has had a couple of track days and some low level over revs but nothing serious. It is the true perfect warm weather ride.

It is such a pretty color on the cayman. I wish it would have worked out for us but the agate isn't bad either. We didn't like the silver rims on the agate so had them powder coated matte black. BTW my son has put 2k miles on his already and loving it.

Its always amazing to me how much a difference the corners make.

Enjoy the car! The 2.7 with three pedals is a special combination.

As much as I'd like to keep it low miles and maintain the value that comes w/ it... already put 1800 miles on it.
Just too enjoyable to leave it sit. Not too many modern cars have this analog feel.

Brought it to South Shore Performance for a yearly service. Rudtner seemed to like the color. He did say he was partial to blue.
Next is redo the 3m to full wrap on front (right now it's only partial) and ceramic coating.

If he didn't love it, I'd say he needs some therapy.
I'm sure you made the right choice in car for him, especially since you'll be tracking it. It's not nearly as powerful as my Audi S4 was, but driving experience more than makes up for it.
