Looking over the forum it seems most of you guys look at all this from a "worst case scenario."
I get the impression that many of you are 100% positive that every engine is going to blow from an IMS failure. Every one.
You guys say you replace this and replace that because you liken it to a ticking time bomb, then tell everyone the "maintenance" costs are so high.
That's NOT maintenance, that's spending money. If something breaks and you fix it, that's still not "maintenance" that's a repair.
I can soooorta see doing the IMS upgrade but only on certain year cars because if it does fail it is catastrophic, but most of the other stuff is just spending money.
If it aint broke, don't fix it.
C'mon guys, if these things were popping motors like is alluded to on this forum there wouldn't be any used Boxsters left.
Anyway, I figured I would make a counterpoint to most of what I read here.
