Things fixed after 60k but before 80k on my 986s (garage kept weekend driven)

Clutch/ims/rms/flywheel (one job $3,000)
AOS
Coolant tank (known Boxster issue)
Catalytic converters (expensive)
MAF/ 1 O2 sensor
Shocks ($2,000 job)
Control arms
Alternator
Starter
Throttle body

After 80k:
Waterpump ($1,000)
Rotors ($1,000)
Soft top (will cost $1k - 1,400 when done)

Granted none of these repairs really came before 60k miles but then they came in costly waves ranging from $1k - $5k.

My advice be in a Porsche after 30k and out by 60k miles. There is simply too much inventory of 1999+ Boxsters, Carreras, Caymans too keep the prices up for too long. Never in Porsche history have literally hundreds of thousands of sports cars been produced in such a short amount of time, with even more on the way now that many will be switching over to the 991 Carrera and 981 Boxster/Cayman. We are up to our eyeballs in cars that the average sports car buyer is hesitant to get into because of Porsche's previous history as exoensive to repair and maintain. Basucally theres No need to go picking through the high milers and if you do makes sure shocks, clutch/ims, waterpump, rotors, AOS have been replaced -- nearly all are $1,000 repairs and common on winter driven cars by 100k miles
