A Boxster is not necessarily more $ to maintain than any other car, nor are they unreliable.
In 6 years my 986S that I tracked and Ax'd was extremely reliable. Other than tires and brakes from tracking, I replaced a water pump and alternator, both myself. Oil changes are an easy DIY. Sure a little more $ as it uses 9 quarts of oil, but if you get your oil at wallyworld, about $60-70 including filter.

Are parts more than a Miata, yes. Harder to work on not really
