RA1 - high mileage, older boxsters are going to cost you a wad of money to keep running, especially if you need it to be your daily driver.

The difference between an old boxster and your current G6 is that parts for the G6 are easy to find and cheap.

I have a 1997 with 60k on the second motor and just had $1000 of routine maintenance done on it: replacing the spark plugs and 6 coil packs. OUCH!

They're cheap cars right now for a reason. They need a lot of stuff replaced on them.

Plus, unlike a Cayman, if the convertible top transmission slips up and you aren't very watchful, it can twist up everything and cost you more than replacing the motor on your G6 with a rebuilt unit.
