One airbag/seat-belt light problem, one air injection system leak problem, one O2 sensor problem.

Comes out to ~$11 per month for maintenance. Nothing special done to the car. Serviced by the book by independent mechanics.

not complaining, just stating facts:

2000 Boxster S, 39,000 miles... cam housing leak, cylinder head leak, coolant tank cracked, cv boots replaced, and misc other little things....most of this under warranty...estimated cost from dealer $5500....comes out to $65/month for maintenance...that is crazy....
