I have a 2001 Boxster S that my husband and I bought used with about 46K on it about 1.5 yrs ago. We've put 10K on since then. It's in the shop now for an oil change and our mechanic is saying it's likely due for a front break job in the next 2-5K miles. So, after all that long winded explanation, what kind of price could/should I expect for a break job?

I grew up in a 1960 356B Cabriolet and that's the reason we have the Boxster now. I am starting to regret the purchase though because of the expense of maintenance. Just spent $1200 on all new tires and I will have to have the CV joints done at some point in the near future as the gasket covers are all but gone....
