These cars can, and most likely will, bite you in the a$$ eventually with defects in engineering that Porsche wants no part of admitting to. If you don't know about IMS bearings, cracked cylinder heads, coolant tank cracks, AOS failures leading to hydrolock, oil-water intermix, and a host of other issues, then that indicates that you haven't done enough research. The things mentioned are all common issues in the day to day ownership of a Boxster 986.
Learn about each of these issues, and decide if you can live with a car that may at any moment experience one of these potentially catastrophic issues, and if you have the cash on hand and/or the talent to repair the car if and when it happens.
It's a awesome car to drive, but absolutely not Porsche's proudest moment engineering wise.
