A 2004 Boxster runs about $23,445 at the midpoint of the Canadian market right now. That's your anchor. If a car is priced well above that, the seller needs to justify it with condition, records, or low kilometres. Below it, look harder at why.
Most of these land between $18,498 and $26,925. That's the typical range, and it's a wide one for a 20-year-old sports car. Two grand at the bottom and roughly three and a half above the median tells you condition and history drive the spread more than anything else at this age. A well-documented example with a clean service binder sits near the top of that band. A tired one with gaps in its records sits near the floor.
Where this year sits
Median mileage on these is 84,612 km. For a car this old that's genuinely low, which reflects how Boxsters tend to get used: weekend duty, not commuting. Anything sitting well under that number and still asking mid-range money is worth a closer look. Anything well over should be priced with that in mind.
We flagged 5 deals on this year in the last 90 days. So cars worth acting on do surface, but they're not thick on the ground. If you find one inside that typical range with paperwork to back it up, you're paying a fair number.
