Boy are people negative today
I've been the 3rd owner of 2 Boxsters and they have cost me about $15 per month in unscheduled maintenance averaged over more 5 years.
Is any 90k car going to have wear issues a 20-30k car doesn't yet have? Sure. Any car, not just a Porsche.
The point about parts costs being very high and dealer labor the same is certainly valid...for any year Porsche.
But there are ways of getting around some of that buying the parts online from the original manufacturer and not after Porsche and the dealer's markups have been applied (My O2 sensor the other day from ********************************az was $94 and it was a Bosch, same as Porsche buys). And doing some of the labor yourself, having some done by generic mechanics and some by independent Porsche mechanics. The trick is knowing which is the appropriate approach and you have the on-line forums and the collective experience to advise you on that.
