I own a 2002 Boxster with 41k miles on it. I've owned it now for about 2 1/2 years. it has been a pretty good car, but the IMS thing has me worried, especially since I'm in the higher risk category with the single row bearing. What's sinister about this defect is that it destroys the engine. If it was the case that the bearing could just be replace once it failed then not a huge deal. My car probably isn't worth much more then $!0k. If the IMS fails then car is totaled, since it will cost at least that much for a new engine. Fixing the bearing issue sound like it will cost me at least $3k, Ouch! My clutch is fine, and probably years off from needing replacement so I can't fold the cost into clutch work. Sound like having this preventative work done will cost a large portion of the total cost of the car, Uhg. My choices are take my chances, fix it at a large cost, sell the car. I'm not sure.
