Garage
98 Boxster 2.5l 5spd Finland build. Bought in 2005 from Carmax with 63k miles. A one owner sweetie. I gladly paid top dollar for her at the time (about $20K) She now has 80k miles and a dozen track days. Never a drop of oil on the garage floor.

Unschseduled repairs to date:
1. New Bosch battery $90(sort of normal maintenance as the battery in the car was original).
2. Cracked coolant tank- approx. $600 including labor.
3. Changed MAF. DIY, $290ish for the part.
4. Top would not move after spirited AX day, getting cold, long drive ahead. I unplugged the top relay and plugged it back in... Shazzam! It just rattled loose. Zero $.

That is it. Pretty darn reliable car. I have owned Toyotas with more issues than this. Oil changes, filters, tires and brakes I consider normal maintenance.
