I to felt this way at first. But after having the car for over 1 year now and having bought it used, the only problem was the RMS leak which I had fixed and it has NOT come back since. If you keep up with the maintenance you should be fine. As for my RMS issue, there really is no telling what the previous owner did as far as maintaining goes. I love my car and have had no other issues with it at all. Some people just don't take care of their cars and some times people just get a bad one from the start. I would like to say that if you keep your boxster in a garage you will less likely have water issues too.
