I haven't paid anything yet for mine (obviously) but just to comment on what some people have said, I absolutely love mine. It's like a part of me already.

I can't believe how much attention I get from it also... Toll booth guy went on for at least 2min about how I looked so good in it and how if we hung out together, "we'd get all the girls.

I'm so not used to this.

Since buying at the end of August..

$600 Replace CV boots (damaged from previous owner)
$1500 New Pilot Sport Tires + install (I think it came with the actual stock Conti's)
$55 Soft top cover off ebay
$70 Readjust parking brake cable
$10 Replace worn radio knob
$15 Replace engine compartment fan relay (D.I.Y.)
$12 Replace transmission cooling scoops (D.I.Y)
$300 Two trips to International Detail
$100 Weekend washing materials


and preparing to purchase an extended warranty before the current CPO runs out.

so $2662 after 3 months before the new warranty. But hopefully this is it for awhile...right?

...right?



BTW Jim, I hope successfully selling your Boxster doesn't mean we'll lose your immensely thorough guidance here on 986forum.

$26K to buy it a couple of years ago, $3K in maintenance and repairs, and I estimate that I've dumped another $3k to $4k in mods. Not counting future maintenance and repairs, I have probably another $3k to $4k of things I want to do to it over the next couple of years.

:dance:
