Scared new Boxster owner

[rick3000]

Everybody nows the Boxster is more expensive than a normal car to maintain, but the alternator is common on every car and the coolant tank is common on the Boxster. I wouldn't write the Boxster off after you've already put $2k into it to get it running well.
In my first three months of ownership I had to have vacuum leak and seat belt receptacle replaced. Since then I have had no problems.
