2008 Boxster S LE
Bought Jan 2, 2008
23,000 mi

Maintenance in last 12 mo:
$92 oil & filter
$22 brake fluid flush

Customization $$$ spent in last 12 mo:
$400 CDC-4 6 disk changer

I have 19K mi on the original Contis. They still look good but will probably need to shell out some big bucks next yr for tires.

Knock on wood, this boxster has been one of the most reliable new cars I've ever owned.
