I love Boxters but I don't want to spend a fortune on maintanace. If i buy a car for $6,500 in good condition I don't want to spend another $5,000 just to do some repairs. Is the Boxter out of the question if I feel this way?

If you check blue book, you, can't hardly buy a good condition Boxster for $6500. So what you're actually buying is some one else's headache they are giving up on.
If you are second guessing the cost versus the repair up keep buy some other car. There have been numerous post "I bought this car 1 week to 4 months ago without a PPI and now I need help"
Average Porsche dealer service is $125/hour. Specialized Mechanic shop $60 to $100/hr. $5000 is a clutch, IMS, and water pump replacement. If it's had a recent clutch IMS job you won't touch the car less than $10000.
