I bought a 1998 Boxster 2.5, did I make a huge mistake???

We all know of the flaw but the car has lasted this long and got me to work again today.

I will stand by what I said originally and that was I will probably get the IMSB replaced when the clutch goes and this will be to put my mind at rest. There is a chance it could fail, however the oil gets changed regularly and the car is driven regularly so the risk is low for me.

You have a different viewpoint and that's fine, like everything in life there are risks and repercussions. I feel my car can last a year until the clutch needs replacing, I would ask that you respect my choice instead of rubbishing it.

Fine. But it's NOT fear mongering for the sake of profit. It's simply a modification/upgrade to a known problem (single bearing vulnerabilities).
Some do it out of fear, some do it because its logical. Either way the problem doesn't go away.
