Like you, I don't wrench - no talent, no tools. I bought a low mileage (10,800) 2000 S a little over a year ago. Car was well maintained - have all receipts - and was pristine. First year maintenance was an oil change.
I've added about 7000 miles since I bought it and am in my second season. So far haven't spent anything on repairs or maintenance this year.
For comparison my other cars are a 2004 Volvo Cross Country with 225k miles and a 2001 Acura CL-S with 202k. Both were bought with about 47k miles. I keep excellent records and know that both have averaged about $1375 per year including everything from repairs to tires to washer fluid.
I know I am looking at some expensive preventative maintenance on the Boxster in some time - it's quite a few miles before I will need a clutch so I plan on having the ISB done soon so there is the $2000 but I really love it and it is worth every buck.
