Another view...The Boxster is a street legal go-cart. You'll never have so much fun as you will just buzzing around the hood in it. My advice if you want reliability and peace of mind is to budget about $3.5K - $4K into the purchase price. Figure on replacing the water pump and thermostat, RMS, IMS, AOS, clutch, add a spin on oil filter, magnetic drain plug, filter magnets, chain tensioners, change the trans fluid, and check/replace the coolant tank. If done ahead of a failure you can avoid the stress and drive like you stole it. Get off the ledge and behind the wheel... When you leave this life you take your memories, not your wallet.
