Sign of the times, at some level—though it's probably useful to put today's (selling) prices into 2008, 1998, 1988, etc dollars to take the inflationary aspect out of it.
The 1997 Boxster was $39,980 when it debuted, which is $62,908~ in 2018 dollars. The 2018 Boxster is $59,000 right now, which is $37,497~ in late 1996 dollars. This engine's price, at $15,000 today, is $9,749~ in 1998 dollars and $12,834 in 2008 dollars. So...inflation + sign of the times. They aren't making more of these, and it isn't fun to see the engines become more precious. On the flip side, a lot of cars that would have been parted in the past are now being saved...and that is cool. |
