The bad is the bearing is the least capable Porsche used in a Boxster.
At 103k, I think it a good idea to replace with the IMS Pro (sorta a double row replacement for the single row) or The Solution or the bearing kit of your choice.

I figured this into my cost calculations. This car leaves me with a nice $3500 cushion for maintenance, while I still think being a better car than ones at a higher point and with less mileage. Based on my recent research anyways. Finding lots of 60-70k cars with no service history for 3 or 4k more. My gut says a well maintained, well driven car is best.
