Vehicle cost and maintenance cost have usually been a tandem ... high original cost = high maintenance cost. Witness Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Mercedes, Ferrari, even Cadillac.
It has only been with the advent of the high reliability premium brands such as the Lexus that this has been in part turned on it's head, and this due principally to the extremely rigid quality built into the "Japanese" manufacturing methods.
The Porsche is not a particularly high priced car, especially the Box. I wouldn't be surprised if most of us on this forum paid less than $30k for our cars (used, obviously), not a large amount in a world where a pickup truck can easily cost more than that.
A Boxster owner can defer maintenance like any other car, and, like any other car, pass the ensuing chickens on to roost in somebody else's barnyard.
