That includes an ims solution (preventative maintenance and well worth it), a new clutch assembly, 2 new motor mounts, an AOS replacement, an MAF replacement, and oil and fluids changed. I understand a 16 year old Porsche requires a lot of maintenance, but is this typical in the first year of ownership? Car had 68k miles when bought and I've put 5k on since.
Dude, you did everything the forum told you to do, not what you had to do. that's all preventative, i bet you could have spread that out a bit and not experienced so much expense in the first year.
