Porsche Boxster S
Cost of Ownership
Premium Fuel $3.50 gallon
Rear Tires $375 each + tax & installation ($750 installed from tirerack, partly because there's no sales tax)
Extra Key $225
Windshield $900
Insurance is $300 / 6 mnth for full coverage; even the insurance guy was surprised.
Sensor Issue: Covered by warranty. It's been in the shop for a week and they can't figure out what's wrong. Now, the dealership is just going to replace all the old sensor hardware with new hardware. I can't image how much this would cost without warranty.
Performance and Spec
The 0 to 60 is about 2x quick as my Miata.
