Every repair would be done by me, as this would be my “first car”.

$400 for the bearing was an overestimate also. It should come closer to $300, right?

I just haven’t found definitive prices for these parts in my research, I’ve been mainly looking for problems in the forums, not per say the cost and/or how to fix them. I’m getting to that now
Perfect. If you approach the purchase with this attitude, I think you'll be very happy with the 986 boxster.
So my other bit of standard advice? Make sure the car you buy is the one that you think you can't live without. Don't search so long for "the right one" that ticks all of the practical boxes, but doesn't light your fire. Get the one that would make you jealous if you saw it in your neighbor's driveway.
