I have owned the Boxster since it was new. I special ordered it and took delivery on April 30, 2001. It has never seen rain & it has never stayed outside over night. If I drive it and know it will be parked for more than an hour in the elements I cover it. Right now it is in the garage covered with two covers; an inside cover then an outside cover, and hooked up to a battery charger.
It is for sale at a high price and I don't expect it will sell. If it doesn't sale by the 21st of this month I am going to keep it. But that will be another post!

p.s.
do you bother to replace the wipers ever? I do that ever six months. Bosch are awesome. I apply Rain X and it's like HD vision.

The current mileage is 23,514. I change the oil once a year and have it analyzed by Blackstone Laboratory.
On July 2, 2008, at 16,452 miles, the RMS was upgraded.
The invoice states, "R&I Exhaust, R&I Transmission, R&I Clutch and Flywheel, R&R Rear Mail Seal, R&I Tensioners, R&R Intermediate Shaft Flange Seal, Clean Oil Residue From Trans and Engine."
The total bill was $2223.52.
The engine number of my Boxster is M96 21/ 671 09227. According to a Pelican Technical Article, this engine should have a double row IMS baring. Based on the fact it should have a double row baring, I am not that concerned.
Still have the original wipers on the car.
Here are some photos.
