things that need done around that time or before normally
AOS
clutch
RMS update (with clutch normally)
water pump/thermostat
belt (with waterpump)

they are generally not money pits,we are not talking a B5 Audi S4 or anything...consumer reports actually lists the 03 Boxster as a best bet reliability wise.
Yes that's exactly why my interest was struck in this car. Consumer reports seems to love it.

Aesthetically everything on the exterior looks awesome, im kinda bummed out that there are not many fancy bells and whistles inside. Just a simple driving machine. I would end up sending a lot in custom modifications..

My other options would be a BMW or MB, however they both have a horrid standing with reliability.
