I drove my S for 6 years and 60,000 miles as a daily driver (my only car). In the rain, snow (and some sun) of the Northeast.

I paid slightly more than average for routine maintenance. I was very pro-active with things such as oil, filters, belts, spark plugs, etc. I did have a few things go wrong during ownership (wheel bearing, coolant, ignition switch etc.), but these things were know weak spots and were easily addressed.

When I first got the car, the check engine light wanted to come on and stay on. The solution was some techron and just drive it.

In the end, I sold the Boxster for $12K less than what I bought it for. So, that is $2K per year in depreciation.

You can't do much better than that with any car.

Overall, this car was an A+ for me.
