A $7k ANY CAR is going to cost money to maintain. No one is disputing that. We are disputing the idea that it will require $10,000 a year, or $2,000 a year.
If you buy the right $7,000 Boxster, you will be just fine with a couple hundred bucks a year in maintenance. The occasional repair, if you keep it for a number of years.

However, I think I've figured out what the point you are trying to make is. Finally! Sorry I was so slow on the pickup.

You are suggesting, if I understand you correctly now, that if he spends more than that $7,000 budget, over the life of the vehicle, or however long he owns it, then he risks his marriage. Do I understand that correctly now? Is this your concern?

If I've understood that correctly now, then my recommendation would absolutely be different than what I've suggested below. My recommendation would be: don't get married yet. It's either not the right time, or the right one. If the maintenance budget of a car, any car, will put your marriage at risk.
