From what I've read it will cost you about $2000/yr to own an older Boxster.

- 9L of premium synthetic oil at each change
- Sticky tires that dont last 20k miles
- IMS replacement to avoid the 5% IMS bearing failure rate
- Driven hard is good however and depending on how you treat your clutch that may be on the 5year recuring plan
- Brakes dont last as long when tracking.
- Flush Brakes every 2 years...cheap as it only takes 1l of oil
- replace water pump every 3-4 years just to be safe as they have their faults with plastic impellers.
- washing the car every week +-

It all adds up but the fun and wow level is totally worth it.....Buy an S 3.2L if you can.

Another approach is to find an IMS failed car cheap and put the 3.4L or 3.6L in it and go like a bat out of hell on the track.
