Your last statement above is spot-on in my opinion and one worth repeating to anyone who will listen. Not an inexpensive, low-maintenance car to keep long-term. Porsche really cut corners on the 986 throughout the model years, but with each year they got a little better. My Porsche tech buddy tells me though that the newer 987's (07 and up) are built much better and aren't nearly as much of a repair hassle as the old ones, but then again they aren't as old either! Time will tell.
02box, you really should sell your boxster soon though. Get rid of it if you think it's the biggest waste of money you've ever spent. Life's too short to drive a sports car at which you shake your fist when you think about it or see it in the garage.
This weekend I will have my little black money-pit at the track for another DE and I will be once again reminded why every replaced part is worth its weight in gold. The 986 is hands-down the best track car ever built (in my not so humble opinion).
