Thanks for all the great replies! I currently have an 06 330i as my DD and other than an axle replacement under warranty the car has been flawless and costs about $140/year for maintenance (oil changes). If it takes about $1k / yr to maintain the Boxster including brakes and tires than that is nothing to worry about at all. My budget could go around $40k-ish (am looking at an 08 RS60 but it has 48k miles) but Id rather spend in the $30 - 35k range.

So the 986 was 97-04 and the 987 is the 05-12 with changes in 09 correct? What else changed besides the motor in 09 (same hp/tq?)? When did these cars get "modern" electronics like iPhone integration, bluetooth, nav, etc? In doing some searching on Autotrader Ive found a few '10's at just about $40k but would go with a higher miles 08 RS60, 08 S or 09 - 10 Base?

For the PPI are any of those national services worth anything? Or really only stick with a dealer or Indy?

Ive got a ton of questions but I dont want to write a book here so Ill stop for now
