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.
