What a ride! I have driven cars from North America, Germany, Japan and Sweden but nothing comes close to my Boxster..nothing! Yea I know you can’t compare the ride and performance from a sports car to a sedan, but as operating cost go it has been the cheapest. So far on required repairs I have spent a total of $517. Yup $517. I do the all the required maintenance and some “Preventative maintenance”, in order to avoid preventable problems. Here is the breakdown other than regular maintenance.
Required repairs: * Temp. sensor year 9 at 71,000 miles * Door speakers year 14 at 96,000 miles
Preventative replacements: * Water pump, thermostat and coolant year 10 at 78,000 miles * AOS year 12 at 90,000 miles * Expansion and coolant tank caps year 14 at 96,000 miles
In ending... Pedro I’m right behind you, just 150,000 miles to go!
