Am I ready for a Boxster?

[papasmurf]

91k miles on it (bought at 33k) and it was a daily driver for about the first 4-5 years that I owned it. I have been putting about 5k on it a year the past few years and drive it about twice a week except for spring and fall where it may be driven more. My experiences so far have been fairly frugal as I have had to replace one set of front tires and two sets of rears since purchase, an AOS, motor mount, power window motor, water pump, convertible top and rotors/brake pads. Really, maintenance has not been any more than any other car I have owned and if you can do the work your self, you can save a bundle. I am going to need new tires within the next year more than likely and the rear track arms are getting noisy so they need attention too but that will be after 8 years of ownership. I think people tend to overshoot the costs on average but if you are looking at getting the IMS/clutch done it can get $$ in a hurry.
