I'm slowly doing suspension work a little at a time so I'm not dumping a lot of money at once. Oh, and that $2000 a year maintenance that you may hear of, it's true. Good luck with the car if you go with it! It is a fun car!

I was thinking about the suspension--- I figure there are a few thousand tied up in that. I'd probably do it a little at a time as well.
I had also been thinking about brakes and tires. Apparently the front pads and rotors were just recently done. Leaving me to likely do the rears.
The car also has new rear tires.
I had planned to budget 2k/yr in maintenance.
Essentially I'm hoping to here from you guys about some things I wouldn't know to look for unless I owned a Boxster!! Thanks in advance for any input.
