9 years with my Boxster, a cup of coffee and a cake/day.

Not sure if I posted this thread I did on the PCGB site on DDK, but I thought it may be interesting. It details all the costs of having the car for about 9 1/2 years really.

Nice to read that. Had my 3.4S 987.2 3 years now and do occasionally ponder selling but what else could you get for what it’s worth…such a capable car and as your post points out, it’s not that expensive to run.

Thanks for the comments.
Glad the info is of interest.

I use this car mainly for long trips, certainly no shorter than 50 miles, more 100's or 1000's and that keeps a lot of gremlins at bay I think.

I'm sure soon there will be some Big Bills coming, but we shall see.

You won't find a better more practical sports car, a conclusion I come to every time I'm 'ready' to sell it...

Thanks Neil, but the car encourages us to 'explore'!
