i was in the same position. prior to buying my boxster the only thing i ever did to my cars myself was add gas and washer fluid.

after buying my boxster, i've done more than i thought i would.
- changed the serpentine belt
- changed spark plugs
- installed new alternator
- changed brakes and pads
- changed my own oil.

for the most part, those are all really easy things to do on this car. start with the belt, it'll give you confidence that you can in fact do a lot more yourself. for most of the maintenance items, porsche made it quite easy to do. check out pedro's garage ( http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site/DIY_Projects.html ) and build up your confidence. and you'll be able to save those $100/hr labor rates for the big things when you take it in.
