Not an easy question. I have a Warranty Direct SecureCare extended warranty, it cost me $1944 for 4 years and 60K miles on top of my mileage at that time (35450). It's already paid for about $1K of stuff, and I'm going in to get a water pump done with it soon, so it'll be getting closer to breaking even. Another guy just had Jake do his IMS and with some extras it was $3500.

Question with the warranty is - will they pay if the IMS blows? Some people have had major issues with getting them to pay for this failure. It's a risk you take when you have a warranty. But as I noted above, a warranty covers more than just an IMS failure, and there are plenty of things that fail on Boxsters.
