I love the Boxter such a great car. I'm also considering a BMW Z3 or Z4. Boxter is my first choice but if it really is around $2,000 annual maintenance costs I'm not sure if I want to go for it. I'm aware that cars like this cost cheap to buy but I want to know exactly what I'm getting myself into if I decide to go for the Boxter.

I've owned many used cars before and most of them don't cost $2,000 a year to maintain. Aside from the original things you have to do when you buy a used car I never really spent much money on used cars but I know how to shop and always made good purchases.

I'm the least mechanical person there is so I don't do any repairs myself.

What it sounds like is you guys are saying that any used car will cost about $2k a year in maintenance cost, did I get that right?
