Yes and no.

I bought my 2004 “50 years of the 550 Spyder edition” Boxster S in 2015 with 25,000 miles on her.

I have spent $20,000 on preventative maintenance.

BUT, the car has been amazing and worth it.


I had a 1993 Miata for 23 years as my only car.

We just got back from a 5,200 mile drive from our Louisiana home to Rennsport Reunion 7 in Monterey and back.

Car was perfect.


I have spent a LOT of money on preventative maintenance.

But, it was worth it To Me.


My wife and I drove two laps at Laguna Seca, then the entire PCH from San Francisco to San Diego, and back to Louisiana


What price do you put on that?

I have the “IMS Solution” from Flat 6, now LN Engineering. New water pump every four years, replaced all the things that fail.


I haven’t touched the suspension, but it needs replacing now. I got a big “clunk” on the Corkscrew at Lagun Seca. I have a vibration. I need to tackle the suspension.

So, that more money.


Priceless.
