At the risk of starting some kind of war......
The IMS problems, while catastrophic if they happen, happen to a very small percentage of Boxsters (somewhere around 2-5%). I spent a lot of time wringing my hands when I took possession of my 03 S, and it only had 26,000 miles. Well 14,000 miles later (in less than a year, as it is my DD) it still runs like a top. Like any car, maintenance is key. Check the filter when you change the oil. If you have the funds and want the IMS upgrade, go for it. There certainly is nothing wrong with having it done. But don't lose sleep over it. I always say, drive it like you stole it.
You have already made the purchase, but you could always go and get a PPI (Post purchase inspection in this case) done and know what you have going on.
