A 24K miles "garage queen" I did some research on the Boxster's prior and learned about the IMS issues but was understanding this was an issue for the MY2000-2006 with single row bearings. So I had a PPI done and it came up clean. Then as I read more I see that this can also be an issue for the MY1997-99 "garage queens" because letting the car sit is not a good thing. I'm loving the car and the way it handles but I'm concerned about the stories I read of the IMS failures. Think I'll eventually have the bearing changed out before any real damage happens to the motor. Great looking cars guys, You guys enjoy the ride!!
