Is the Boxster reliable? Overall yes but if you don't replace stuff sheet happens.Even if you don't replace stuff sheet happens.

With my Box laid up with Code P1341 (cam deviation) unless I wan't to destroy it. I am personally without a car right now as it waits for parts and a determined plan of action.

At 45k miles my 2001 Box base is prematurely aged(kind of like myself at age 68).Driving my wife's Camry is no substitute. I have been told that a BMW off warranty can be more $$$$$$. So I am sticking with the plan as it is 3 months before the snow flies.....

Have been considering an suv but the Macan at $70k does not do it for me....

Older BMW

I have a 98 323 IS E36, when I got the car from a friend who bought it new it needed several things. Brakes, Plugs,HVAC FSU and Blower Motor, Radiator and Water Pump "Curse of the E36 at 75K". The interior was sad as the headliner had fallen down. I repaired everything and I mean everything for about 1K$, that was 3 years ago and at 145K miles it is dependable as the 2013 Honda CRV in my driveway. Never a drop of oil used, never a drop of anything on the driveway but condensation from the AC when running.

I would drive it anywhere and ridiculously easy to work on
