I bought a Boxster for 8k this year and have put 2.7k into fixing it up. Biggest expense was new brakes and rotors.

LIQUI MOLY is a high-quality, aftermarket supplier that I have personally used across a ton of makes and models. That gear oil is a GL4+ or GL4/5 spec hypoid gear oil, which is going to cover the vast majority of differentials and transmissions. (I use that in my VW GTI track car and 996 daily) - and I have always been happy with it.
Pros: high-quality, always happy

I have the Generals on my 2000 Boxster. They are pretty good. I can take a 90° turn off a hiway road onto another hiway at 55mph, 60 mph is the edge of traction for a 320 treadwear tire. Spins out at 65mph.
Being picky I wish the sidewalls were a little stiffer. The ride is plusher than the Sumitomo HTR(another not bank breaking option) in my opinion.
Pros: pretty good, plusher ride
Cons: sidewalls little stiffer

I have kumho ecsta ZR "performance all seasons" on my 97 986. I drive the thing pretty hard, not too many curvy roads around here but it handles good. I really don't have any complaints, I daily drive this car and another.
Pros: handles good, no complaints

I have just over 1000 miles on the falkens, and on road, I don't think I could tell the difference between them and the Michelin crossover tires that I had before. They're obviously much better off road.
Pros: good on road, much better off-road

I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.
Pros: last longer
Cons: overheating fronts, hard on rotors, hard to get affordably

Common issue and is the water pump. Covered under extended warranty from Porsche bc its a known fault.
Cons: common issue, known fault

General consensus is that the Porsche dash cam sucks and is a waste of money, you’re better getting a 3rd party one such as thinkware or blackvue, you also do not need to option the dash cam prep if going 3rd party
Cons: sucks, waste of money
