Thoughts on a 2009 Boxster w/ 9500 miles
 
I think I have found "the one". A 2009 Boxster with 9500 miles in great condition. Since I am new to owning a Porsche I thought I'd ask if I am missing something. Anyone have any thoughts, opinions on the '09 6 Spd model.

Thanks

Get a PPI (it should come back perfect), then go for it. :cheers:

Are the 2009's the first year without an intermediate main shaft (IMS) bearing? If that is the case, it has one less possible mode for a catastrophic engine failure. That would make it a good choice to me.

Yes, that was one of my considerations. I had looked at a beautiful 2008 S. But decided I would opt for an 09 because of the IMS issue.

I see you have the rear speakers. Would you recommend them?

Tremendous that you are considering a 2009.Not only are you free of the dreaded IMS but the horsepower gets serious in 2009.You are getting a quick car!

Yes. It was the first modification that I made to the car and I found that it made a noticeable improvement in the sound quality.
