Bought my 99 Tiptronic with 84k miles in August of 07. Used it as daily driver (sales) and it has 128k. The tranny slips between 2nd and 3rd, but has done that for over a year. No major repairs, only the minor DIY ones below with estimated costs:
O2 sensor: (this failed from coolant due to cracked coolant tank) $120
Coolant tank: $500
Oil changes & filters: $220
Brake Pads (rear two times, front once): $260
Valve for coolant going to transmission: $100
Ignition switch: $30
Rear trunk strut (old ones weak and I figured replacing one of them was good enough): $20
Spark plugs: $50
Fuel Filter: $30
Air Filter: $18
Misc Bulbs: $40
Waxes, Washes, etc: $200
Tires & Alignment: (bought N rated, but definitely going with Sumitumos for $90 each next time): $1200
Anyone in 100k mile club
in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)

Finland was the country of origin of my Boxster. I thought this might be interesting to keep track of as I've heard the Boxster made in Finland were / are higher quality than those made in Germany. Has anyone heard of the Finland vs. Germany quality difference?
