How much does A 00 boxster cost in total?

Hey, I shall be attending college next year and i need A car.
What I wanted to ask you guys is how much does A fully repaired 2000 boxster cost, if or not it is daily drivable, and how much gas money is needed monthly.Thank you for your time, gentleman.

The answer to all of your questions are, it depends.

A cheaper Boxster will not be cheap once you repair it, and one that does not need repairs will not be cheap. Regular maintenance will also be at least 2-3 times that of a 'regular car.' It's a capable daily driver unless you expect to be driving on more than 3-4" of snow (probably not an issue in Turkey). The gas usage will depend on your driving style and distance.

I did it, with a base 2.7 model.
In total, it costed me more than 13 500$ (10500 for the car) + fuel and insurance.
Not the best idea I had... but it look good on my resume when I'll look out for a Technician job

Unless you can afford twice what you will pay for the car alone, I wouldn't. During college you need peace of mind, not worrying about whether or not you will be able to fix your car if something happens :/
