Just a word of advice, if you do not have an inheritance or own your own internet corporation and are wealthy, then I suggest you learn how to work on the car yourself and save a boatload of money.

For example the 5000 mi oil change would cost your $200-$300 at a dealer but only ~$60 for (Oil/filter) if you do it yourself in under 30 minutes.

The average yearly maintenance cost on a Boxster is ~$2000 but perhaps only ~$800 if you DIY.

I suggest you save that money in the first year for the upcoming maintenance that will be required unless you feel comfortable not having the car available 100% of the time while you save for repairs.

Weekly washing/polishing is also a necessity and you need some higher quality products for the best results.

Hate to sound negative but its like dating a high maintenance girl...it will cost you for that privilege.
