    WHY Don't you tell all of us What kinda car you drive
Which Model and year? What color? I don't know if someone is gonna rent/borrow another car just to show me on that day.

Aiya .. a faster car, not always faster on track ga ...

Even u give me a lambo ... vs a pro driver with a miata ... can beat me!

EL: your "average" income can drive luxury car is correct in USA .. not in Canada la.. (ok, western Canada)

Payment for a Boxster can be as long as ~ $600US/month, vs $1200/month in Canada.

The purchase price of used Boxsters aren't very expensive at all. High $20k to $30k-ish can already get you a recent model (2005-ish?) la. Older ones are even cheaper.

But, as with everything Porsche, maintenance costs are pretty expensive. Bigger maintenance jobs will require having the engine dropped, so even when you don't consider the costs of replacement parts, labour alone won't be cheap la.

呢兩個係叫價，成交價就點都有多少鬆動，亦即係我所講嘅 high $20k - $30k啦？

盲丙，唔撚知價就唔該你自動收口，咪出來獻醜啦～

Boxster, Cayman, 911做親大 service 都要釣副偈落來，再裝返上。咁樣搞一搞唔知要幾多個鐘呢？而就算唔返原廠做，出面街啲整 Porsche 嘅車房做 Porsche 嘅時候一般都會收貴啲。再加波子特貴 parts（佢連換油都要 9-10L synthetic，而唔係一般車嘅 4-5L 恐龍油），條數不如你計俾我睇仲好啦？

同你講咁多真係教精咗你。不過我諗就算今次袋咗錢入你袋，下次你都會繼續講啲戇車野來再次出醜嘅。

Lik gor ..  high 20K range .. is a bit low la.. may be in US, or high km one ..

But $30K range does make sense, (private deal, no warranty, may be grey import US car)

As you said, buying one isn't hard, some late 90's Boxster are under $20K, and they are still great car, however, service cost can be high, but good thing for living in Vancouver is, if you want to save $ from your pocket, you can drive to US for service, (and do shopping etc in the same time) ie: oil service is only ~ $300US, vs $500Cad, tire/brake etc are all 20-40% less down south ..

Depends what you compare la..  compare to Ferrari/Lambo ..  still much much more "reasonable", even compare to Lotus/AM/Bentley etc ..  most service, no longer need to "釣副偈落來" ga la..  most the work can be done from UNDER, just take both rear wheel/penals off ..  service cost probably same or slightly more then M6/M5.

I know I will stick with my Porsche with warranty only at this point.  MY CPO is going to offer me a good 2 years, then I'll make sure to pay $3-4K for extended warranty (3-4 years).

I don't quite know how much it is for service.., but I know tires will cost me a lot...!  I am expecting it will cost me 2x as much than my STi.  Afterall, I spent so much on my STi tires, and aftermarket parts...  Since I won't be mod. the Porsche, I think I am pretty safe in the area..!
Honestly, I kind of lost track on how inexpensive it is to service some cheaper cars.... !  My wife RDX is still service at the dealership, and it's does cost about $250ish each time.  My Subaru cost about $200 average as well, and that excluding bring my own Amsoil oil and filter which is close to $100 in expenses.
A side note.  My trade-in my Subaru knowing that I need a new clutch works, which will cost me about $1.6K, then I'll be doing my 60,000miles service probably next year.., I take that as a saving picking up my Porsche.. (My excuse to my wife haha)
