When I first started looking at boxsters a few months ago, I was thinking about getting a low mileage well maintained car between 2000 and 2005. But after pricing a few of the good ones and taking into account the IMS solution, possibly a new water pump, Oxygen sensors etc., the better cars were coming to around 20,000 to 30,000. Spending a little more and avoiding those expenses for a much newer car seems to be making sense, even if I have to wait a little longer. :>)

Look, I personally think the IMS is way over stated. Look, my ride has 76k on it and the only thing that I personally did do myself was an axle seal on the final drive side. The rest is fairly easy stuff. I know when it hits 100k, I will need to put a chunk of change in it, most likely I will buy another one though. If you can get a good buy on a fairly new model, I would do it. Good luck.
