I bought my Boxster from Carmax in Salt Lake and I got the extended warranty. It covers all major components including engine failure. It does not mention every engine component but if any fail you are covered. Believe me no warranty lists a IMS simply because it is part of the engine. You must get pre-approved by any shop that has certified mechanics including Porsche if that is your choice. So your brothers garage does not count.
They are a very large co and doing well and I doubt this is a scam.

My 04 S only had 20k miles when I bought her and I got a 6 year up to 75,000 warranty for about $1400. It gives me some breathing room before I do the IMS.
