Hi! I have been up all night debating on purchasing a 2001 Boxter S. I believe the price is pretty good ~27K for 35K miles. The ignition switch has already been changed out. the clutch was replaced a year ago and the tires have 8K miles. Sounds like the owner has cared for the car well.

My concern is that I need to understand what is involved with maintaining the car. Are Porshes notorious for repairs. What can I expect to pay for Tires, oil changes and etc. Are extended warranties a good idea?

I have a decent job but do not have money to burn on a car, so I am fearful of purchasing the car at this time.

any advice?
