    Get one, but IMHO not a boxster.  May I suggest one of the last air cooled 911's (3.6 flat six, 280bhp) around M reg, for your budget you may stretch to get a really good model, but you won't be disappointed. 
 If you pick the right model, a Porsche will provide as reliable a super car as one good wish for. 
 Soft tops are all typically well engineered, and fuel a econmey not bad at all, say 20-26mpg ish. 
 I am sure other peeps will be along soon.
