As for the Boxster I had $12-14K in repairs at the 70-90k odometer mark.

p.s.
My 986S has only been a 'weekend car', garage kept for 90+% of its mileage. Still cost me a bundle once major maintenance time rolled around.

p.p.s.
a manual E46 and manual 3.2 Boxster are very close in performance.
A 2.7 Boxster is more on par with a Honda S2000 as far as performance.
The S2000 is the best weekend car as far as bang for the buck/maintenace imho.
Too bad they are not dirt cheap like boxsters, I would suggest him looking at an s2000 but he will pay much more up front, save on repairs though.
