Thanks Zenix. Sorry for not being clear..Lets assume boxsters only ie 2000 to 2003 and loan is not an issue. Cayenne is too big. Am looking for convertibles. Would you say its easier to find a decent condition boxster/convertible but hard to find a decent Porsche mechanic/workshop ard Klang Valley (Aside from 3S)?

I'm not too good with Porsche's but I'll tell you what I know about Porsche Boxers circa 1997-2003 from chit chats with owners.
Boxsters eat tires and brakes and brake discs. If you get more than 15k out of a set of rubber, you have bragging rights for sure. Brake pads are soft, and their wear point has a lot to do with how often and how hard you depress the brake peda -- but if you enjoy the gas pedal, the brake pedal use usually used as well. Brake discs cannot be turned, only replaced. Every third set of pads require new discs. These are conservative figures from drivers that don't dump the clutch, spin the wheels and race between traffic lights like a boyricer.
Buy a car from an individual who loved the car, you can usually find those in the owners...
Thanks for the frank advice! Will have to do more research before biting the bullet! Cheers
