All the advice given in these posts is dead on. I would only emphasize enjoy it for what it is..anything bad could happen in life not just to a car. I stopped worrying about my 99 with 125k miles. Original IMS. There are people starving and don't have a home to live in, maybe even in your community... Enjoy the fact that you even have a Porsche!

Does your sales agreement have a right to cancel clause in it. If it does, and you dont feel 100% comfortable with it then I would return it. The Boxster is a very fun car to drive but it doesn't give me that Warm Fuzzy that a Camaro RS or Mustang Does. The only thing that grinds my gears about Porsche is the Cost of Parts. I bought mine as a project car and once I got through the cheap stuff the price of other projects stated to annoy me to the point that I started considering trading it for a 05-06 mustang GT. But its still a fun car to drive.

If you enjoy the Porsche image drive it and enjoy, as others have stated you're likely ok on the IMS due to age / mileage of the car.

If you are going to pine over what is in your mind as the inevitable and fret over costly repairs (they are costly compared to most makes), pass on the Boxster and buy a Miata.

Life is too short to spend what should be enjoyable moments worrying. My 2 cents.
