I bought a cheap 99 Boxster with high miles (177k) as a summer car. I drive it if the weather is decent. If the weather isn't decent, I drive my Cayenne. Mine hasn't needed any maintenance yet, but when it does I'll take a stab at it. FWIW: I DIY my 82 928, so I'm kind of brave/an idiot.

I wouldn't own an older Boxster as my only car, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it as a daily if I had a reliable backup.

I wouldn't call the Boxster an exotic. The parts are all well-proven, the engineering is sound and mainstream, and the cars are solid and reliable.

And if you do buy a Boxster, be sure to join your local PCA region!

Good luck!
