Tires: Cost is between $325 to $1500 a set depending on what you decide to buy. Mid range is probably $600.

Oil Changes: Dealerships can charge huge sums like $265, but if you buy the 9 quarts of oil it requires and the filter and crush ring, then take it to a quick lube place, you can probably get out for under a hundred bucks or thereabouts.

Other maintenance: Repairs can get expensive, so I recommend you get one with some factory warranty left on it so this will be taken care of if you buy used. A CPO Porsche isn't a bad buy in my book because they'll keep it on the road until it has 100k on it or X years (can't remember what the years are on top of the original warranty).

Drive all the cars you've mentioned and I think you'll discover the Boxster is in a league of its own, one worth owning and maintaining. Amazing in corners and the most fun one can have with his clothes on.
