I plan to keep the car for a very long time too. I've done many mechanical repairs, many of which are in OP's list to make sure the car runs well forever. However, my biggest fear is that if I spend a lot of money (because parts ain't cheap) to make the Boxster mechanically sound and such, and some idiot runs into my car one day and totals it, it'll be a big loss to me. The Boxster's current market value doesn't reflect the true cost of the car or how much it's worth to us.
