YOUCH!!! $6000 in repairs on the Saab in a year. That's $500 a month! (Just thinking out loud) That's unreal. Short of a catastrophic engine failure, I don't know of anyone or anything that would cost that much on the Boxster. Even the highest price on the RMS I've heard is about $3200. Most that I've heard about, lately, are in the neighborhood of half of that. Plus, if you're driving it every day, the likelihood of an RMS failure is decreased, slightly. If you don't mind me asking, what year Boxster? Base or S? Pre-2001 engines had a couple of issues that, in the remote chance that they would even occur, might tip the scale. Also, if you're still under warranty with the Boxster, the cost of most mechanical concerns would be out the window anyway.
It's interesting that you've had problems with the Saab in the mountains. They're SO popular here in Colorado. Vail and Aspen even use Saabs as their police cruisers. Aspen has done this since the '70s. Peculiar.
Again, of course, it's a matter of personal preference. Not knowing if you have any sentimental attachment or other circumstances that would compel you to keep it, it sounds like it's just costing you money.
