I don't think there is any need for that.

Look at how hard the RL gets hit, it will lose 20k in value in 3 years, the boxster will lose a lot less, the big hit has already been taken buying one used... but based on the replies I really don't think I am interested in getting involved with vehicle that has a lot of known problems.

The G35/37 will probably be the car for me, japanese reliability, great engine, torque, new car waranty and won't cost much more to own for a few years then the boxster, by that point I should be in a position to purchase a new 997, which is what I really want. I just thought that boxster would be a fun interm vehicle and a possible nice introduction to owning a porsche.

Thanks for the honest feedback, it makes this choice a lot easier.
