Budgeting for Boxster ownership

Hey guys,

I am looking to pull the trigger on a 2002 Boxster S with 105k miles on it for $8k pending the PPI comes out good.

After buying the car I would have about $2000 in the bank just for initial repairs that may pop up. My wife has me on a bit of budget with regards to my toys, and i can put away about $200 a month towards maintenance, repairs, ect.

Do you think this would be sufficient budget in handling the high costs of service and repairs, and keeping the car in good shape? I can do some of the simple repairs myself such as brakes, and oil changes. It wont be a daily driver, mostly just running around town, and weekend trips here and there. I expect to put between 5-8k miles a year on her. Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
