I'm having some trouble navigating this forum; I thought I already posted this, but apparently not. I'm considering buying a used Boxster but have some misgivings, having seen some things about the car being expensive to maintain and fairly unreliable. I currently have a 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata but have wanted a Boxster for some time. I do most of the maintenance and repairs on my MX-5 and a 2006 Chrysler Sebring convertible I've had since new that now has 277,000 plus miles on it to save money and because I enjoy it. So...is the Boxster an expensive car to own, is it reliable, and can a DYI guy do much of the maintenance and repair when needed himself? Any insight or suggestion from actual owners would be very much appreciated.
