I called the Porsche dealer and they had no major service on the car.
The original owner had the service done before it was necessary. The service guys said no leaks of any kind. Once IMS was mentioned he said he had no idea why it happened on these cars and proceeded to tell me he mostly saw the problem in low mileage cars. It seems after this weekend I may be the new owner of a Porsche boxster Fulfilling a desire to own a pcar since i was a kid. Now to decide if I drive it long before I get the upgrades done.

Buy the car, take the money you would spend on a warranty, invest it wisely, and the odds are in your favor that you will have the down payment on your next Porsche when you get tired of this one.

I meant to say RMS, not IMS. Sorry for the confusion but I agree, buy it and enjoy driving it.

Congrats, you will want a Porsche for the rest of your life.....

Boxsters are fine in the winter if you get some real snow tires.
