Price of the Porsche Boxster: Pros

2002 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 this one, 7 years old was affordable
Price of the Porsche Boxster: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 2dr Convertible 295-horsepower 3.4L H6
6-speed manual RWD		 Porsche charges an arm and a leg for every little option.
2000 2dr Convertible 217-horsepower 2.7L H6
5-speed manual RWD		 I got this car for less than $10,000 from a dealer. No accidents. But because it is a Porsche, people assume I am rich and charge me much more for service. Including Detail Shops, which charge double to clean a Boxster than an equally sized Mazda Miata.
