I have paid a deposit on a 2003 Boxster 3.2 s with 63,000 miles on the clock and full service history. I am aware of the IMS issues and intend to have the bearing replaced when I get the car.
I have asked the dealer if he will drop the oil and show me the oil filter with me present to check there is no evidence of the IMS failure. He said the car is fine and they sell many Porsches and they can tell if the IMS is failing. He claims you can hear it. Is this true? Is my request a reasonable one?
What other checks could I make to ensure the car doesn't already have a problem?
