Talking

My short answer is that you will be disappointed in the Boxster vs, say a c5 corvette.

Here is my logic:

Parts costs-no contest, the Porsche parts will cost you more and you will use more of them.

Service requirements-Not huge on the Boxster but they are there. For the c5, well they are minimal at best.

Access- the Boxster is doable but compared to working on a C5, a pain to some degree.

Driving the car is another experience. Both are great but you need to decide.

I am a huge fan of the Boxster but it is not a DIY dream by any means. And you uncle wil not know how to work on them, nor will he appreciate trying to get at the engine etc.

IHMO
