Anyone that buys a Porsche and doesn't assume they'll spend at least $200/mo on repairs and maintenance is buying the wrong car and didn't do their research. It's the buyers fault, not the car. If you get lucky and don't need all $2400/yr then buy a new used boxster in 5 yrs with the money saved as a deposit
Good advice. But, a Boxster is NOT an exotic sports car. Never was, never will be. I don't even consider the iconic 911 in this class. Maybe the 959 or the Carrera GT and the upcoming Spyder 918.
