I think the 30K was still under $1000.
I had some problems with a 2001 Boxster S that were not fixed after several attempts. I did a little research on my own and finally TOLD them what to fix, and that solved the problem. That car had a bad cat convertor, bad wheel bearings, rear main seal oil leak (very common problem, and mine leaked again not long after the 1st fix), and a bad throwout bearing... all before 28K miles, which is when I got rid of it.
Porsches are great to drive but they definitely have their problems and I'd say they're more high-maintenance than other brands for sure. If you know and expect that going in, you're OK. When I bought my Boxster S in 2001 though, I was expecting to get the very best quality for the "premium price" I felt I paid... and I was disappointed when I didn't.
