6 months ago, I bought an '01 Boxster S with 22K miles and all the options I wanted (triple blue, Litronics, PASM, upgraded wheels) for $18K. The tires had good tread depth, but were too old to keep. It needed a brake fluid flush, battery, oil change, new alternator/voltage regulator, a new CV joint (cheaper to replace the whole thing). I had the belt replaced while the motor was exposed. I replaced the gas struts supporting the trunk and frunk, as they started to collapse on cold days. I spent more than I budgeted, but the car has been a joy. It runs strongly, on and off the track, and has been completely dependable. My recommendation: buy and budget 20% for 1st year repairs.
