It's quite simply too expensive.
Im a 997 and boxster owner. The boxster is a recent addition. I paid a small premium for a nice, but low spec (ve basic actually) non S, but I think you're asking for too heavy a premium as an enthusiastic, caring, marque specific owner. Your car is likely to be about to pass into non enthusiast, more generic 'sportyish car owner' territory.
I didn't buy my 997 (C2S) to use daily, but we did buy the boxster as a summer daily driver. Why pay a £2k premium for a boxster that's going to be used, parked at the supermarket and left in the rain. My opinion, as a recent buyer, is simply that for most boxster owners, it's not the cherished garage queen it's bigger sister the 911 is. I DID pay over what people may consider paying for my 997, from an OPC and a low mileage, immaculate, 'perfect' spec car. This special toy wasn't the box that the boxster is ticking (for us) and I dare say a lot other buyers are of the same mindset. There are many,many boxsters out there to choose from . The sun is out and buyers are out there, so if its not selling, it's too much money.
Your car was an S, so was overlooked by us anyway, but more significantly was too expensive. We're not price driven, we didn't buy new for the above reasons. We want to use it. Better that someone else has rubbed the new off a little first!
Sorry, but that's how I see it.
