Had my 2001 S for 2 years and no issues.

However you will have an old car and like any old car it will need some of the more major overhauls as parts wear out.

At 80K miles things like Belts, some hoses, suspension components, water pump, vario cam guides, clutch, perhaps a sensor here or there.

Plastic/rubber eventually gets less pliable and could cause vacumm leaks and other inconvenient things that if taken care of yourself will save loads of money and result in a reliable car.

The IMSB issue is a DIY $500 fix or a $2500 shop fix so you can make that issue go away for a long time either way.

You must buy a Boxster and live the dream and drive it hard. Enthusiasts will help support you along the way.
