As for reliability, I referred to the Consumer Reports ratings for cars and on the whole the Boxster is decent. Average - which these days isn't toooo bad. There was even one year that was above average reliability. And I figure the CR subscribers are more level-headed with their product surveys, considering that they are stakeholders in the quality of the magazine.
I used to own a used 1992 Mercedes 190. What a lemon! Even the owner of the Mercedes/BMW repair shop told me that most Mercs were unreliable. He only recommended the Merc V8s. Come to think of it... I DID see lots and lots of Merc mechanics everywhere. Now why would there be a repair shop on every corner? I guess its good business!!
So far my 2002 B with Tip is trouble free, except a few minor cosmetics. I bought it 3 months ago, so I admit I wish I had its entire repair history. I'm heading in for the 30k service soon. Cheers!
