The cost of owning a used car is a total crap shoot, regardless of the brand. Granted, my 2002 is low mileage but I've owned it for 2 years and my only costs have been gas and 2 oil changes. A bigger question may be is if you go with the S2K, how are you going to feel every time you pull up next to a Boxster? Will you or will you not regret your decision? Buying a Porsche is largely an emotional decision. It sounds like you've been bitten by the bug. I'd say, life is too short. If you want a Box, go for it! Do your homework and get a PPI. You'll find a way to make it work.
