I just spent $11500 in June for a 2001 Boxster with 75000 miles on it. It's my first. Bought it from a "friend". Took it to a luxury car dealer for inspection before I bought it (not a Porsche dealer). If I had it to do all over again, I probably would. Really fun car to drive. I use it to commute on city streets about 50 miles per day. BUT... My advice? Take yours to a Porsche Dealer and have it inspected. It costs a little, but it's worth it. While you may want to bet on someone else's problems, it's nice to know the odds, first.
Since I bought mine I've put about 5000 miles on it:
Replaced 2 rear tires, $500 (The inspection said they were at 40%. Getting it up on a lift said they were showing cords)
Blew the AOS, $950.
Lost the right front strut, $500
Lost the left front strut, $500
Right front wheel warped (They're "soft". Watch out for pot holes. I inherited this from the seller), $150
Check engine light is on (not the MAF sensor - probably a fouled intake system from the AOS problem. I need to clean that out and try again.)
Now it's sitting in my garage with a burnt clutch or transmission problem, $???
Wife isn't happy. I'm not happy. Sheesh!
