Got my 2000 S in late August last year with 60,000 miles

New clutch,LN IMS, RMS. All were OK but peace of mind bought! $2800
Had original 030 springs re installed and suspension set to factory neutral. $700
New shift cables and drivers side door lock repaired $900

Total= $4400

Hopefully, only thing needed now is front motor mount!

Purchased my 1998 Guards Red Boxster 13 months ago and drove it from Austin, Texas to Chicago, Illinois the next day.

So far:
•replaced coolant tank
•coolant flush and fill
•replaced spoiler relays
•replaced rear trunk struts
•replaced stolen center cap
•replaced battery (it died in the car and was securely locked under the hood, thanks Porsche!)
•swapped cd holder for dash pocket
•swapped one headlight assembly

I think that is it for repair and/or maintenance so far. I have taken many a road trip and spent more time washing it than total for my 5 year old daily driver.
