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

So what are the weak parts of these cars, specifically 987?

IMS- knew about it
RMS- knew about it
Alternator- did not know? new to me
Water pump-again, new to me
AOS-new to me

So in an 05 S it would be wise to upgrade to the LN IMS, but what about the other issues? Is it necessary to replace the waterpump, etc in these cars? If so, that is a significant amount on money to put into a new to me car.

And to think I've owned a few Boxster cars before and never had an issue!

The water pump has killed more engines this year than the IMS bearings have as far as whats made it into our doors..

There are 21 modes of failure identified so far. The engine that may illustrate #22 is on my bench down stairs now, it failed in a very odd manner.
