Got my first Boxster!

Hello,

I'm glad to have found this forum of experienced Boxster enthusiasts! I have always dreamed of owning a Porsche, saved up for a few years and just recently bought a 2002 with 55K miles and a brand new top. It's in immaculate condition (Speed Yellow) and bought it from the Porsche dealership in Nashville. The car was a trade in on a 911.

I had done what I thought was a lot of research on the big used car sites and most all reviews were positive. I wish I had done a bit more research though as now that I've found this forum (and others), I'm scared to death of IMS bearing failure. Just spent 15K on the car, can't afford another 15K for a new engine! The sad thing is I've been on a high since finally realizing this small dream of mine and now I've come crashing down with fear of this failure. Guess I'll save up $2,500 for an new IMS & RMS and leaver 'er in the garage til I do. I'm absolutely in love with the car already though.

Glad to be a part of this group!
