by far the most reliable car I've ever driven and mine is not a Souther California Sunday driver. It was driven year-round on winter beaten roads. I thought I was driving a Lexus. Mine is a Valmet build btw.
Unfortunately when the big ticket maintenace repairs came due (clutch/IMS, shocks, etc.) it was time to break open the piggybank. But that's true of all Boxsters/Caymans and Carreras. My rule now is "in by 20K miles out by 50K".
Let the previous owner take the first big hit on depreciation and let the next owner pay up for major maintenance.
