The first two years of ownership for me back in 2004 on my 1997 boxster were financial brutal, and it wasn't that old of a car. It had been neglected though.

One thing you just have to get straight in your head is that this car is a really fun little money pit. Suspension parts wear out faster than other cars (for example).

On the bright side, after about 3-4 years of fixing broken things, replacing worn out things, and adding unnecessary things (sport exhaust, side skirts, speedster humps, litronic headlamps, new interior, etc.) I have enjoyed the car without much expense beyond oil changes, tires, and a battery.
