Typical Boxster owner vs. the typical Porsche owner who bought their car new.


We (not all) for the most part are tight wads. Especially since the many of those on the board now bought their boxster second hand at a fraction of the original retail price.

Shops will typically charge retail or a little more for parts. they will also typically charge one hour to diagnostic in addition to the time required to replace the part. Price of convenience these days.

Convenience, that is the key word. And I fall into the tightwad camp most definitely
