I actually bought my 2000 base to be a daily driver. Have a new Tundra ( 2017) that gets 14 MPG on a good day. Wrenching on the Boxster does help save money but new parts are still new parts price. Even for a 20 year old car. Some parts are reasonable in price and others are quite expensive. I think being proactive about a maintenance schedule is important. Also, think of what you might eventually change and decide/find a car that has that issue. I.E. if you want to replace the seats with racing seats and completely upgrade the cabin, then one that has been neglected in the cab would be a option.
Keep looking until you run across one that makes you say, "WOW".
