I'd buy a Boxster again in a millisecond. I bought my car with 82,000 miles and it has 110,000 miles now. The car has been tracked extensively and has been driven cumulatively at or near redline for several dozens of hours. I have replaced the RMS and clutch and never worried about replacing the IMSB. Its not gambling when the odds are stacked (>90%) in your favor and when the worst case expense (replacing the engine) is fairly minimal ($4k for a used engine + $2K install = $6K total). Sure you can spend more and there are plenty of shops that will gladly take your money but that is all you really have to spend to get the car back on the road.
