A Porsche is not for everyone.

$2,000 a year? i read set aside $200-$300 a month, $2400-$3600 a year roughly, for a out-of-warranty boxster

That's just... what you do. Like, buying a dog dog food, that's just what you do when you have a dog.

If someone don't like it, don't get a dog. Or a Porsche.

If you can't afford a Porsche you should not even consider it. First rule is if you buy a 2nd hand Porsche pay cash for it. Because if it is out of Porsche warranty, then you need more $$$ to fix it (or less $$ to fix it yourself). It is easy to get underwater with these cars particularly if you get a car with problems. A PPI should be mandatory unless you think you know lots about Porsches.I love my P car and did lots of research before I bought it. Information is $$$$ saved. This car is not a Miata costwise. But is way more fun.
