1 car to maintain, insure, pay taxes on, and I really don't use the Boxster S much...

The X drive would get me around in the Maine winter and offer me performance so I can play the rest or the time..


Thoughts?

Go as new as you can afford if you are buying a 335. The reason is because of the issues related to the turbos. I would also stay away from the first two model years (07-08).

List of issues:

water pump+thermostat (This is standard in all 3 series)
turbo(s)
HPFP
injectors
coils in the earlier models
