So...I thought I would share how much I spent on buying a 2002 Porsche Boxster S. So here goes:

$22,000 - The car itself, bought at Manheim Auto Auction in Manheim, PA
$250 - Dealer charge (I'm not a dealer, so I pay one to buy it for me)
$1043 - Tax and Registration (I wasn't 100% honest about how much the car cost..)
$120 - Passenger side Wind Deflector (it was missing, car looked weird with just one)
$24 - Driver side Roof Tension rope (it was torn, dunno how...its steel)
$230 - H7 Xenon conversion kit, I'm used to xenons, I need them, Litronic too $ ATM
$13 - Oil filter, Drain plug, and drain plug washer (I was gonna change the oil until...)
$1500- RMS, IMS, 4 CV boots, Rear brake pads, and windshield wipers all needed to be changed

Grand Total: $25,180 Without insurance....
Wow that was more than I expected, for that price I could get the same year 911...But I like my new Box

Here are some pics of the repair/car, Enjoy!:
