I have an '02 and I have spent the last year correcting small(ish) nagging problems. I had one key issue that the dealer had a real hard time diagnosing. In the end it was a vacuum pump that was only occasionally failing to maintain vacuum and at that time the CEL lit up, but it never reared its head at the shop.

My point is that I think a 4-6 year old Boxster is going to have occasional things fail. Some will be very dramatic, some will not.

MAF, RPM sensor, are pretty typical.

The entire convertible mechanism - well thats pretty huge and I'm sorry to hear you had that issue.

Yes, do heed the earlier advice and try to establish if the dealer has some liability.

But once this all settles down, look in to an extended warranty!
