I will say after driving the 2.7 car it definitely feels more powerful than the 2.5 car I used to have.  The glass rear window is a nice upgrade.

My previous Boxster was a 2.5 (201hp) and my current car is a 2001 2.7 (217hp). There was another power bump in 2003 (227hp). Driving an early 2.5 to a late 2.7 I can notice a difference, but between driving either of the other two and my mid-generation 2.7 I can't really tell. I do wish I had a glass window, though. But only a few more weeks until the hardtop goes back on for real and not just for motorsports reasons :)

Im hoping, just for my own satisfaction, that I picked this one up juuuust at the bottom of the curve. They’re approaching the 25 year old point where prices might begin to rise. Porsche already classified it as a classic.

I do think they've bottomed out, but I don't know how much they'll be going up, at least for a while. They made a lot of them, after all. I look at the 944 as an example. Special ones are starting to appreciate, but pedestrian ones like mine have been in the same price range for a decade-plus and probably aren't going anywhere.
