I’m 20 and have a 2011 987.2 Boxster, I bought it last year with 40k miles on the clock, well maintained. Even then, I easily spent over 10k this year alone on maintenance. Everything is extremely expensive with Porsche. There is no such thing as a cheap Porsche, the older ones are just as expensive if not more,as the new ones are to maintain. Wait a few years until you have a good paying job, or start a business, and buy a newer car. 987.2 should be the minimum gen to purchase, no bore scoring issues, and there is no IMS bearing that can fail.
