Advice Needed on Buying a Boxster HELP PLEASE

Hi Friends,

I have been an avid porsche nut for over 20 years and it has been a dream to own a porsche. I am in love with the Boxster and am considering a very clean one owner 1999 with all records and 60K miles. After reading these forums i am scared out of my mind to buy the car due to the potential of engine failure and/or high cost of maintenence. I understand parts are expensive but some folks are spending 3000-5000K for a single repair such as ignition, convertible top etc. The engine issues alone could mean that i may have to just junk the car. I am now very confused and torn. I dont mind dropping the occasional 1000-1500 on an repair, but anything over 2K seems way too high? Maybe I am way too poor to own one. I currently have a Lexus IS350 and have previously owned several Mercedes and Bimmers without a warranty, but i have never had to deal with 3K-5K repair bills. My other options are the Z4 or SC430, but i REALLY want the Boxster. Can you experts advice me please? Perhaps reading too many threads on crazy repairs and breakdowns has made me paranoid.

Much appreciated
