Just want to say thanks to all the active members here for great info and advice to help make my first Porsche experience a great one so far. Cheers!

This is interesting...I purchased my '02 Box S in late 2005 with 7600 miles showing. Granted, I only drive it 2500 - 3000 miles a year, but my expense is mainly oil/filters and tires (they get old before they wear out). The most expensive repair to date was replacing the voltage regulator (DIY) which cost me maybe $60. Mods are a different story, as I've spent a fair amount on those, but that's a personal choice. Quality oil and high revs keep the IMSB demons away. I even take it out on the track for demo runs with students...good for it.
