All cars have their issues... high performance ones more so. Add in the fact that these cars tend to be driven harder then the average daily commuter you are going to at times have problems.
I can't say my 2001 s has had an easy life... tons of track time and it even gets the suspension backed off and driven in the winter. After 160,000 km it has needed some items (clutch, due to failed pressure plate... several RMS replacements... suspension parts wearing, wheel bearings, etc) but considering how hard this car has been driven I am very impressed with how well it holds up. I know that I will have to rebuild or replace the engine sooner or later (either Jakes 3.6, or an x51 3.8) and even with that kind of expense into it I can't think of another car that would give this level of fun at this low a price.
I have had other cars ingest their engines (my old 944 turbo went through 3, and my WRX, totally stock spun a bearing one week out of warranty for a quick $10,000) and know that it always sucks, but it is the risk of driving high performance vehicles.
If you like Boxsters, find the best one you can, keep on top of maintaining it, and have fun.
