I drove my Boxster S for 6 years and 60K miles as a daily driver (in the northeast). I sold the S for $12K less than what I bought it for. You can't drive a honda for less than that.

Other than routine maintenance, I did a wheel bearing (or two), an axle, water pump and a few ignition switches. None of that is really a big deal. Routine maintenance costs more than a normal car (so do tires, brakes, oil changes, etc). Also, routine maintenance is REQUIRED on a Porsche. You have to proactively change things like fluids, belts, filters, etc.

Also, you should be able to find a quality S for thousands less than your budget (that has windscreens, litronics, PSM and a glass rear window).

Buy the Boxster, but get a proper PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION.
