Should I also have the RMS replaced also? Anything else. Car has 32,000 miles (99).

Jim,
I just bought a 2001 Boxster with 42k miles last Wednesday, pristine in and out. It has a slight oil leak though, which I was aware of when purchasing and for which I paid the appropriate price. I'm taking it to the Cincinnati Porsche dealer Friday. Their rate is $1168.82 after tax to replace the IMS/RMS (most recent Porsche updates), oil/filter, full inspection/lubrication and a 2 year/24k mile powertrain warranty after the work is done. They're also giving me a rental for the 2 days they'll have the vehicle.
I priced out a warranty with a company I know of being in the insurance business, and the warranty alone on this car was $2400/year. I'm now paying half of that for at least a 4 or 5 year fix WITH a 2 year warranty.
Try calling a local Porsche dealer and see if you receive a similar number. I was very excited to hear this directly from the dealer.
