New owner of 2001 Boxster S

Used clutch? I don't think that sounds like a good idea. The biggest cost to the IMS is taking out the trans which you have to do to do the clutch. Your best bet, borrow the money and fix it all at once with new parts. You will be very happy. It is a far cry from a sentra to a boxster so doing it yourself is probably beyond your skill level if you have not worked on Porsches before. You have to expect that owning a boxster is expensive but I bet you got a great deal on yours considering they were very expensive when new. If it is going to be a daily driver, you better set up a repair fund. It can easy a few thousand dollars quite easily at ay time
