Get a Boxster that either has an existing warranty or is new enough and has low enough mileage to get an aftermarket warranty. Have all regular Porsche mandated maintenance and keep records, as well as make sure that you get all oil leaks repaired and keep the motor clean - this will avoid issues with aftermarket warranty companies looking to avoid paying for major repairs.
