I'm not sure how you spend $600.00 on the coolant tank this year and it now needs replacing..... In any event, yes you should have had a PPI but by now, you have a pretty good idea what is wrong with the car. As has been pointed out, the coolant expansion tanks and A/OS are fairly common problems with these cars and, unless they have been recently replaced on the Boxster S you buy, there is no guarantee that you won't soon need to replace them on that car as well. Brakes and tires are a wear item on any car and unlike many cars, at least one seldom needs to replace the calipers on a Boxster.
We have no idea how many miles are on your Boxster and whether you know the maintenance history, but that combined with what you already have replaced and have diagnosed for future replacement should go a long ways towards telling you whether it will continue to have significant maintenance issues. If your car has over 80,000 miles and has the original suspension components, they may soon be due for replacement. Ditto the clutch.
Having said all of that, if you heart is set on a Boxster S with a 6 speed manual, then get one. Just make sure to check out the maintenance records and have a thorough PPI!
