Boxster (and Porsche probably in general) are not for the weak of heart.
With me it's not the IMS I'm worried about. It's all other problems.
I got the car cheap.. it passed PPI ("post" purchase inspection) with flying colors
However since then.. something always breaks.
It started with ignition switch, then engine mount, then 60K (fuel filter/belt), then one of the wheel bearings went out, now the second one is out, then AOS failed, then Power Steering pipe broke...
Now I have a vibration while driving (no ideea what it is)
I changed everything DIY (thanks to this site) I learned a lot.. but I spent a lot of time fixing it.
It's still worth it for me.. it was a dirt cheap car.. and I looooove it
