986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners - View Single Post - Self insuring... a continuation of "an observation" (long)

I'm just solicting opinions on several ways to view one's "Boxster purchasing options." I've heard the "buy the best Porsche you can afford" advice, but I think that's for a certain type of person. For example, even if I had $50-60K to spend, I personally wouldn't buy a brand new 987 S. There's other things I'd use the $ for. I'm personally leaning towards an 03, but a friend from work is buying an 01 even though he could afford an 05.

With that said, if members inherited a 2001, 2002, or whatever year Boxster; I'm wondering how much they would want in reserve to cover both the expected and unexpected expenses of Porsche ownership.

Thanks for your comments. Sounds like you got a great Boxster (10k!).
