Garage
My conclusions after 2 years of ....

ownership of my 2001 Boxster base. When I got it it had 30k miles. Now has 40k miles.

Pros:
Enough power for me
Great handling
Reliable
Warm in winter
Cool in summer

Cons:
Something always needs to be fixed as have done the following:
CV joints
Idler arm

Needs to be done but not urgent:
Noise from alternator
Spoiler disabled
Suspension rattles from front end when hitting a bump
Mist on bottom of engine from leaky RMS

I really don't expect much to change in the future as regards niggling problems
but will try a local indy garage to see if it is cheaper to fix. The other indy garage is on the other side of town is good but expensive.

Feel free to comment if you consider these kind of problems normal. Do they get you down or do you accept them as the price of admission?

Thanks for input in advance and I always enjoy your comments.
