You'all scare me...................

I really love my Boxster, but ...........is the Porsche Boxster a dependable car, or not?

I read about IMS failures, and bigger IMS's that can't be fixed without engine teardown, and that we have to have Jake install his mods for a more dependable engine, etc., etc.

I have a 2007 Boxster S with 45K miles, and I am scared to death that at any time my car will blow up and become a piece of junk. Should I be worried, or is there a good chance that this thing will last me another 50K+ miles (without spending a king's ransom)? I drive it daily (mostly highway) and I drive it normally; don't race or abuse. All services are done when scheduled.

Anyone out there that has a boxster with 100K on their original engine?

Maybe, for carefree driving, I need to start looking at the BMW Z4, Lexus SC430, Nissan, or maybe even a Mazda, while i still have some trade-in value on my Porsche.
