Derb, ok dang! I think though with that mileage probably could classify some of those as just wear and tear. Those 3 biggies IMS, RMS, Clutch you did as preventative right?

What mileage were you at when the following took place:

VarioCam solenoid valve
Coil Pack
Alternator
Starter
Water Pump- with snapped bolt

01 Boxster straight from the dealer.

- Clutch in 2005
- Radiator (twice)
- Tires
- Water pump

What I have on the horizon (taking the car to the shop this month)
- Temp control
- Convertible roof (roof doesn't catch when button is pressed)
- Possible water leak
- Brakes, all 4 pads and all 4 rotors

Bought mine last September with 42k, has 46k now. Had an oil leak when I bought it, so took it to Porsche the next week and had the RMS, oil fill tube and a few spark plug o rings replaced specifically, and they replaced all other seals/gaskets involved in the process while they were in there. Replaced all bolts during that process and oil change as well. That's all.

:edit: oh, and a headlight.
