Why did you need a new throttle body?

My only non-maintenance repairs since I owned the thing is the $20 H6W light bulb.

I have had the car for about 15 months and have up about 12,000 on my 2000 base Boxster. No problems at all! Just oil changes and brake fluid change (rec by dealership). A very dependable car.

If your doing your starter, there are a couple of posts explaining some tricks I used.

I called US Fidelis too, they keep calling me back and dropping their price. I just keep asking for a copy of the policy before I sign up. They won't send it. So now every time they call, I keep saying "I'm just waiting for Dave to send the policy, like he said he would" ... which is a lie.

As far as non-maintenance repairs: Starter, climate control display and driver's door lock mech (dealer repair $$$)
