Maintenance Costs Insane?

[recycledsixtie]

You did not say how many miles on it. If you said 100k miles then I would understand that parts wear out and need to be replaced. If it did have this kind of mileage then u should have got the Boxster cheap?
It depends as the above poster says about how passionate u are about this car. If you are passionate about it like I am I am prepared to put around $2k a year into it . So far in one year had cv joints done, oil change but this car is making me more resourceful and I am looking at doing more work myself - see Wayne of Pelican fame 101 Jobs on the Porsche Boxster u can do yourself. If I took my Box to my indy garage and said what do I need - they would have a hayday. I don't do that unless there is something serious that I can't handle. Anyway get advice, get 2nd opinions on major work to be done.

One more thing to add. The more miles u drive the more wear u get on the car and its components = more $$. If it is a major stress in your life as regards high maintenance costs, then u most do something to reduce the stress. See my other post. Hope this helps!
