To keep or sell, serious maintenance problems

I bought my Boxster 6 months ago, had a Porsche 60,000 mile check up, she's always been dealer maintained and I have the records. Everything looked great. Since then the following has failed(as in physically left the car stranded or running very poorly condition, non of this is preventative)
-Engine mount
-ignition switch
-water pump
-fuel pump
-shift linkage shaped(this pissed me off)
-thermostat
-mass airflow sensor

"Small" things that failed
-Convertible top
-air oil separator
-Driver's seat



I love the car, but part of me says sell this poorly made piece of sht now, and buy one of those Corvettes that you hate or go back to BMWs! And the other half says you've already replaced everything that's going to fail why sell it now. What would you guys do?
