I must say that I am happily addicted to my 2001 Boxster base. I have had installed the IMS guardian and so in theory I should get some warning of an implosion. Will install the ln ceramic ims bearing in the next year or so. There is so much info on ims/rms failures that there is no excuse not to know about Porsche failings(especially the Boxster ims) before u buy one. I drive the snot out of it traffic permitting out in the country. Cant wait for spring. Buyer beware!
