Now doesn't that give a different slant on fitting an IMS retrofit....

According to TAKART in Lyon, the French Boxsters costs less to buy used than the cost of IMS bearing installation in Norway.....

In the UK (according to my latest 911 Porsche magazine) you can pick up an early Boxster for less than $4000 which is nearly the cost of a LN IMS bearing + clutch installation.
So why would you bother......

No matter what country, pricing any Boxster at $4k makes me frightened at what condition that car is in.. And yeah, I wouldn´t bother with the IMS upgrade eiter

I could not imagine what condition a $4000 Boxster would be in. It would likely need many $$$$$ to get it into reasonable shape. I know even used Boxsters take a hit in depreciation but a decent one should fetch way more than that. As an aside I notice where I live there are lots of used Boxsters for sale and are not selling and that is likely due to the time of year. Here most Boxsters are stored for the winter so there is not much demand right now. On the other hand there are few used Caymans for sale.

This is a good time to find and buy a used Boxster.

Wish I could have joined you for the drive Haz. Even though I'm in Norway my Boxster isn't. I'll try to drop you a note sometime when I'm headed to Oslo.

my car was damage by a front colision in a truck rear. needed to replace the front bumper and left headlight and i am sure some small bend somewhere in the frame that is why i got the boxster for very good price. in france boxster 2.5 is $6000-$8000 with 100,000km with medium condition. anyway at this price i still dont know if good idea to change the ims
