I will give you the same advise my mechanic gave me. Drive it and quit worrying about it. I have had my boxster for a year now and only had to battle a CEL when I first got it. Ended up being the MAF sensor but a $200.00 later it was fixed. I have put over 6,000 miles on it with no issues at all. I do understand I bought an 11 year old car with 50,000 miles. I am willing to fix what I need to if it goes. If i need a clutch I will do the ims, but not until.

Any 11 year old car will have issues if you drive it enough. Pcars don't have any more than most other cars, they are only a little more to fix.

Enjoy your car and drive it like it was meant to be driven. I do let mine warm up a little before I run it over 5,000 rpm but that is all.
