Yearly repairs? Thinking of selling

[rick3000]

It's unfortunate that you bought the car and immediately had to do so many costly repairs, however many of the repairs you have had to do are fairly normal at 75k miles. What happened to you is exactly why its better to spend more upfront for a newer or lower mile car, than spend the extra on repairs. This is all hindsight, but worth considering in the future. And it sounds like you got a bad PPI.

That said, why would you sell the car after repairing everything that is wrong with it, and losing more money selling a car that needs AC repairs, etc? Also, you have to keep in mind that IMS is not nearly as prominent as it is made out to be on the internet. Think of the hundreds of thousands of Boxster owners that don't post on the internet, and are very happy!

I got my 99' Boxster in '06 w/ 17k, it now has 73k. I had no big problems with my car until this last year when I needed a new clutch, AOS, MAS, etc. Not exactly cheap. I do tires/brakes every two years, minor DIY repairs every now and then, plus services. It averages out to about $1400 a year, before the recently big repairs, it was about $800 a year.
