I too clock very few miles annually on the box. 22k in 10 years. For anyone with a family a Boxster is not a primary car, or even a secondary car. It's just a toy. My Porsche dealer told me most Boxsters and 911s bought from the dealership are not used heavily as daily drivers.

The battery charger is a must!

That is sooo true. Dealeship also recommends that you drive the car OFTEN long enough for it to come up to temp. I've heard in some cases that you could have your warranty denied pending on what fails if its not being driven. What that was, can't remember.

Don't want to beat you low mileage guys up but If I had all those mods Danger has on my car, I would drive the snap crackle and pop out of that car everywhere. Saving all those miles for the next guy?

I tell people all the time, buying a used boxster is different from other cars. They usually sit and are barely driven, lives in a garage, usually never driven in snow, (go figure it snows in germany) and always polished with a diaper. PPI still recommended.
