IMS and tiptronic
I have a 2000 boxster S that has around 95,000 on her. Ive started reading all the IMS post and I'm starting to get worried. It seams that some just change this out during a clutch job, but what about the auto's? I just had the transmission oil changed and I hope that's all I need for a while. I change the oil around 5,000 miles and have had very few problems with the car. I did just replace the water pump and it needs a new sensor, but other than normal wear item's, that's it.
Am I on borrowed time? Should I start looking to get the IMS bearing replaced? Should I just hope I get another 50k miles on the car? I'm actually thinking that I may just sell the car this spring since I have the 73 911. But the Boxster is a great car, and it has A/C. It use to be my wifes DD, but she got a new car and now I drive the boxster to the golf club most of the time. I figure it's only worth around 10k-12k so not a big deal.
Just how much does it cost to get the IMS replaced? How much are used S boxster motors going for these day's?
