thank you for the replies everyone.

i like to do all the maintenance myself so that's not a problem. i've found an '04 boxster S with 66k miles and was just wondering what the 60k service consisted of. my wife is finally ready to get rid of the ugly camry for something more appealing .

fortunately, i was able to convince her that we should to get the S model instead of a base model. however, she can't drive a manual so a tip will have to do.

I would seriously consider hanging on to the Camry as a back-up. Absolutely if you are a 1 car family. Or if both of you need your own car. I am a single guy and I love my Boxster. It goes, I get another. But my mechanically sound 1993, well maintained Camry has been invaluable. If it goes, it gets replaced also.

thank you for the advice. she actually commutes on public transportation to and from work so the boxster will only see about 30-50 miles a week. i also have 2 other cars, plus we do not have any kids at the moment to worry about .
