IMS Bearing and Seal Replacement
I have a mint condition Lapis Blue base model Boxster which just turned 55,000 miles this week. It is my daily driver and my commute is twenty two miles round trip. I have made the decision to purchase a 2009-2011 997 in about eighteen months. My dilemma is whether I should bite the bullet now and go ahead with the IMS bearing and seal replacement or continue to change the oil frequently, monitor the oil for the presence of metallic particles and keep my fingers crossed. I know that it would give me a peace of mind and add value to the car when the time comes to put it up for sale. However, I question whether I'm being over cautious based on the small percentage of Boxsters that are experiencing this failure.
Any input and opinions would be greatly appreciated!
