Ummm... it's a little late to ask now.

This is what you signed up for when you plopped your $$$ down on your car. Members told you what it would cost to get your car up to the proper maintenance and it sounds like you've spent the money on the appropriate things. But if you can't afford an IMS change, why ask? There will be 9 ppl who say all this IMS stuff is hokum. Then the 10th person will come in and say it cost him $10K. So far there hasn't been a pattern as to who gets hit with it and who skates by. Do you spend $2K to possibly save $10K? Not if you don't have the $2K.

If this is bothering you after 1 mo of ownership, then you need to do one of the following:
1. Put the car away until you can afford an IMS upgrade.
2. Drive the car and don't worry about it.
3. Sell the car because this will eat you up. Boxsters are meant to be fun, not worrysome.

Sorry, this is kind of blunt but the question gets old. I would recommend searching on IMS but it will probably depress you even more.
