it depends, if they markup the price more than 10%, i consider that on the vurge of being excessive.

Goto Napa and order 6 of the Bosch Copper Sparkplug 7402... Its basically the same plug that the dealer uses. They are about $4 each and are identical to the porsche dealership sparkplugs for the boxster.

Edit: oh wait, you have a 2000 S, these are for 1997 non-S, not sure they will work in your boxster unless S and nonS share the same sparkplugs.
