I can also understand being afraid after all the negative press out there right now why one would want to sell their Boxster. I must be more of a gambler, although I hate gambling, because after reading and reading all the negatives about IMS and the like, I still just purchased my first Boxster after owning, still own, five BMWs.

My neighbor spent an hour trying to convince me I should buy a Z3 over a Boxster because of all the Boxster engine problems.
Yes I totally agree Parker with the negative press. I go through that feeling sometimes that I think the ims is going to cause the engine to destruct. Yesterday I tried out a 2001 Porsche Carrera 4 but it still has an ims and found it faster than my base Box but it did not stir my soul. At the same Porsche dealer I tried a 2008 Boxster base and with more hp of 245 it has more power, was more $$$, still has an ims but was not enough of a car to get me to trade in my Box. If they had an older Cayman that might have done it......I really have quit worrying about it. With the IMS Guardian installed and have just done an oil change I will just face whatever happens . I have moved on.....
