Just a follow-up opinion:

For the record, my Boxster is a daily driver (12K miles per year). Its expensive to maintain, but its more reliable and less expensive than my previous 5 series BMW (a P-I-G). Its a lot more fun than the car that replaced that one -- a 335 BMW. The Boxster is a simple car that requires some maintenance and some occasional servicing that can get pricey.

The good news is many of those items that break are the same -- its the "usual suspects" every time. Do yourself a favor and read up on how to buy a Boxster. There are a lot of good posts on this forum. Also, there are a lot of is an excellent web site out there created by the guy who posted before me (Mike F). Google it. Learn how to check out the car you are considering and make sure it's well maintained.

I wouldn't trade my Boxster for anything (well, maybe a new Cayman -- but that's about it). Good luck with whatever you decide.


EDIT - Sean Z and I posted at the same time - and I clearly agree with him.
