Thanks for all the responses. One thing that prevented me from fully enjoying my '99 Boxster was the lingering fear of engine failure. My line of thought on this car is that at this price, even if the IMS fails, the parts are still worth more than I paid for it! I might do an IMS upgrade, but if the clutch doesn't need replacing until 150k, an IMS upgrade might not even be worth it.

For me, a glovebox is just an excuse to have things I don't need in a car. I'd like a glass window, but the plastic window on my 99 split and I wasn't bothered enough to fix that for at least a year... no rain came through, and I didn't really care how it looked. Hell, I didn't even need a cupholder in that car.

I'm hoping to go check out the car tomorrow, and looking for somewhere to get a Saturday PPI... main problem is, as it's so hard to speak to the owner, I can't confirm anything until tomorrow morning. Oh well, I bought the last one without a PPI and that worked out fine, right?

Thanks again for all your clutch responses, I'll let you know what I discover!
