Budgeting for Boxster ownership

[kk2002s]

Really depends if your a DIY or you need a Shop
I'm a DIY and in 4 years 35k miles I have spent about $1200 in actual parts that needed replacing and roughly $700 in other parts as Preventative Maintenance.
Tires, Brakes, every car needs them. Boxsters do wear tires about 2x faster

So If I was saving 200/month, I could have bought another Boxster after 4 years

105k miles --- I know it is recommended to replace the suspension every 100k. I don't know if anybody does that or not, but that was a bit pricey for me as I'm not rich and I let someone else do the work. (Suspension scares me for some reason)

I don't, but should, budget for repairs. I just wait til something breaks and then park it until I can afford it. I think I got most of the major stuff handled so anything I would need now is only a paycheck or two away. It's been a rough couple of years lately, but I think I'm in the clear for a while now. Knock on wood.
