What's a fair price for a 2000 boxster s 6spd with 31k on it? There's a nice one for sale local to me, but the price seems a bit step.

 

A great way to find real market value is look under completed listing for 2000 Boxsters on ebay and see what comes up with similar miles etc. GL

 

Probably $20k tops.

 

I just picked one up last week with 35,000 miles for $18,000.00

 

You got a link or more info.

you have to be logged in to view completed listings I included 2000 and 2001 for a bigger selection and cause they are basically the same.

Looks like they(sellers) want around $17,000 + for them, Be patient and you will find one.

a silver one with 53k miles just sold for $13,300

WOW this 2000 base went for $9800. it was a no reserve auction and I think the dealer bit the bullet on this one.

Just shows you there are steels all over the place you just have to look.

 

Yeah I would not go above 16k for 00 model.

 

Yeah 16k is still kind of high for 2000, but the miles are a factor(30k ish). I would set my goal for around 13k and just watch for a while. You can bid on the car up to your goal price and you never know, you might get a 2nd chance offer like I did. You can't get a "YES" if you don't ask the question!!
Just have patience.
You can always contact people on ebay that didn't sell their car. Thats how I got a good deal, I got a second chance auction. He wanted like $16k but my highest bid was $12,750. I was shocked when he asked if I still wanted it. It has 2 years 20k miles left on the extended warranty.

Actually I would go through completed auctions that didn't sell and if you see one you like, I would shoot them an email and ask them what their bottom price is, wait a day or two and counter offer lower. See how desperate they are. I flew out to san fran and drove my box back 2400 miles to Ohio. Wow what a trip!!

2 main reasons people sell their boxsters: 1.) They need cash 2.) Kids(not a family car).
so i doubt we see a drop off in the number of boxsters coming up for sale.
