So far my Boxster has been much cheaper to repair than either of my non-Porsche products of the same era. Too small a sample but at least it counters the sample of 3 posted above.

An automatic trans is small change compared to an IMS crashed Porsche engine. This disaster is happening to people who's cars are only worth 50% +/- more that the repair cost.
Transmissions are almost expected to fail......maybe somewhere between 70,000 and 150,000 miles. And that's not too bad when you consider the cost of replacement with a warrantee as you have shared with us. An IMS failure can occur between 30K and never, and it can easily cost $12,000.
