Randall I think it's the other way around. A lot of these cars were garage queens.

The prices are now coming down and many clutches on these cars were swapped out before the LNE IMSB was available. Now those cars are taking on daily driving duty.
They sold a lot of 2.7's... enough to save the brand from bankruptcy. And folks like the OP can find a forum like this to post about an engine failure faster than they can call a Porsche specialist to inquire about preventative actions. Between the people worrying about IMS who do nothing about it and the people who waited too long do something, you're going to see the IMS controversy become a staple of Boxster/996 discussion.
