And also, is it advisable?

I believe that the 2009 Boxster has no ims. Others could confirm this. This is an improvement on the prior ones with the ims. However I would think that a 2009 would be lots of $$$$. I like my IMS guardian as it give me warning of an impending failure. Prof. installed and purchased for one third the cost of new ims install. My 2001 Box base had less than 40k miles when I bought it. I dont believe in spending $$$ on my car unless I have to. I was in Norwich UK and noticed lots of Miata MX5's, but few P cars. In terms of bullet proof I think the MX5 comes first . The Boxster is not bulletproof but driving pleasure and safety is much greater than the MX5. Some would disagree. Enjoy the ride!
