You ask several questions.

1-The oil change is a piece of cake. You do NOT have to get to the engine to do an oil change. However, you do need 9 qts of synthetic oil and the filter. Figure $70 in parts if you do it yourself.

2-You DO have to get to the engine for much of the rest of the maint. issues and it IS a pain as compared to a conventional car.

3-Boxsters ARE expensive to maintain and repair and the require both.

4-If you don't have a lot of dough to do #3 above, my advice is to stay away from the car.

Hope that helps.

Good luck
