Uh huh, every time someone asks about buying a Boxster all the Chicken Littles start running around with their hands in the air screaming "IMS Bearing, IMS bearing!"
In reality. very few of these cars experience that issue, which is why there are so many of them still on the road. I'm starting to think that much of this paranoia is the result of fear-mongering by a few people that have figured out how to profit greatly from it. I'm just not buying it anymore, especially after changing out a perfectly good water pump after allowing myself to be convinced that it would detonate and take the engine with it if I didn't.
Like the poster above said, these are extremely reliable cars if looked after properly. If you're handy with a wrench then you will have no problems doing the maintenance. I'm into my third season of owning a 1999 model. It now has 122000km and I have had zero failures. I have never had that kind of reliability out of any other car I've owned (dozens!) and I've never had a car this much fun to drive.
Go for it!
