new Boxster owner from Miami!

hi everyone,

just got my hands on a nice looking 2000 Porsche Boxster and so far i'm loving the experience. it was hard to believe this thing is 15 years old but its owner took really good care of it.

limited edition color zenith blue (never heard of it until now) which i absolutely love:








car has 111k miles on it but hasnt been abused and has full maintenance records. drives well for its age and miles.

used to own a 2004 Suzuka blue Honda S2000 (RIP - total loss in a recent accident when a taxi driver decided to cut me off).



as much as i loved the vtec in the Honda this flat six is pretty sweet when it gets going and that intake right next to my ear never gets old.


will start going through this forum learning the ins and outs but any tips for a first time Porsche owner would be appreciated.
number one concern is IMS bearing which has never been touched and the original clutch is nowhere near worn out so i dont need to drop the tranny yet.

big question on my mind is should i bite the bullet and do it anyway? how much are we talking about for the job and parts? i want peace of mind but have a rather tight budget.


thanks!

Cristian
