5 problems on my 97 Boxster cost $5,125?!?!?

Sorry to hear about the problem. I'm not an expert but I think the only major problem is the coolant leak. It might be a pain to investigate which part that actually causes the leaking. Other adjustments such as MAF, hand break, convertible top can probably be done by yourself. That way you can save maybe 2000 or 3000 bucks for DIY.

Did you get a Porsche Used Car Inspection on this car? If so you may have some grounds for them missing some pretty obvious things?

I assume the RMS leak is being done under warranty?

How many years is the RMS under warrenty...this car is 8+ years old?

It seems to me that you have several issues to address:

Who sold you this car and did you get it inspected prior to purchase? You may have grounds against either or both of these parties as it appears they may have let you down a tad here.

Pull out your extended warranty and get very informed as to what is supposed to be covered. Insist that all that should be covered WILL be covered.

On the face of this, you are either very unlucky, gullilble (hope not) or you have been had.

Try to figure out which and if you can, seek some redress.

Keep asking questions, we are here for you!

put it up for sale and try to get the extended warranty canceled, if not see if its transferable to the new owner they often are.
There are many great boxsters available for $25K and probably in newer model years no need to be married to this one forever.
