what it costs new, what it’s worth used, and who has one near you.
The 2003 Porsche Boxster is a vehicle we track across the used market in Canada. It comes in gas (11.6 L/100 km) and hybrid (9.2 L/100 km) forms, so the main choice is fuel — the hybrid earns its premium back over enough kilometres. A 19-year-old one keeps roughly 15% of a current model's market price — what actually matters over five years of ownership.
