-Will it depreciate dramatically within the next 12-18 months? While the majority of the depreciation is done, you still might lose some money when you go to sell because of the economy and the number of other Boxster's for sale.

-Am I in for costly repairs with a 100k+ mile Boxster?Yes, most likely there will be some costly repairs. The clutch is a likely suspect as are the AOS, water pump, MAF, alternator, starter, brakes, or O2 sensors. On a $10K car these can seem significant. And yes, the IMS has lasted this long but it could go at any moment. Remember, there are no cheap Porsches (even if the purchase price is).

-Will it properly fill the 2 seat roadster void in my life? Yes, it will give you more two-seater sports car fun than you could ever imagine.
