My 99 Boxster

had 58000 trouble free miles when I traded it in.

My 06 which I bought with 12k (now 14k) is going strong.

Y2K S with 38k miles, had exhaust manifold on both sides replaced by dealer under warranty (6 months apart). Other than that only oil changes. Driven to have fun every chance I get. BTW, lots of new tires also.

Im in.
2002 2.7 5-speed, 86k miles on the original motor.
RMS slowly leaks, but its gona have to wait till clutch goes. Most Porsches leak oil anyways Just replaced AOS, otherwise - engine is trouble free.

It is driven year-around and driven hard. Car often sees triple digit speeds and seems to like it.
If you do most of the work yourself and buy parts online - this cars are not expensive or hard to maintain.

I'm in too. 1998 Boxster (with hardtop) Tiptronic with 115400 miles. No leaks of any kind. Runs great although sometimes Tip unit has mind of it's own. Last 10000 miles in 6 months, moderate driving habits. Performed major maintenance: antifreeze R/F/I, trans fluid (about 4 times in 6 months, long story), tune-up, all filters, oil service, new tires, new headlights, etc. Still returns low to mid 20's in CITY and high 20's to 30 MPG on HWY. Ocassionally drive the slop out of it. Drive in all weather, including recent snow (3+ inches).

No Porche boxsters last over 20k - don't you people "google" IMS failures?
