Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Prices are adjusted to the model's median mileage before comparing. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Porsche Boxster 987 has declined sharply in the UK market, with median prices falling to £12,250—a 27.5% drop over the past year and a bearish signal for current holders. The downward momentum is pronounced and reflects broader softness in the modern classic segment where this model sits.

Liquidity remains thin, with only five transactions tracked in the last twelve months against a total historical sample of 23 sales. The absence of active listings suggests limited seller appetite at current levels, which typically compounds pressure on realizations for motivated vendors.

The typical transacted example carries around 22,000 miles, indicating the market is seeing relatively low-mileage stock—though this hasn't arrested the price erosion. The model carries a collectibility score of five and sits in the stable modern classic tier, but current desirability is rated low, which is material to understanding why momentum has turned negative.

Base-case projections are severe. The model is expected to reach £5,964 within three years—a further 51% decline from current levels—and £4,814 within five years, representing a cumulative loss of over 60% from today's median. These projections assume continued depreciation without a structural shift in collector appetite or market conditions.

Sellers should treat the current environment with caution. The combination of thin liquidity, low desirability, and steep downside forecasts suggests that holding becomes increasingly costly. Those considering sale should act before further deterioration compounds losses.
