Talking considering buying a 2002 boxster

I bought a 2002 about three months ago with 62000 miles. the car was near showroom condition, smooth idle and a nice ride, private party. after purchase I found out about the IMS issue. did some research and talked the Porsche dealer service writer. found an excellent Porsche mechanic and did the IMS for $2500.oo after paying $8500 for the car. well worth the extra cost since I also found in the repair some leaky seals, which were repaired at the time. the car runs great, still at about or below market and sooo much fun. cobalt blue with blue leather interior and chrome 17" wheels. I would suggest getting anything below a 2006, since the 2006 to 2008 IMS are not serviceable. look for something with as few issues as possible.
enjoy
