Having a 2001 I have reason to fear an IMS failure, and that paranoia ruins much of my pleasure.
My Suburban has 150,000 miles on it, almost 5 times the mileage of my Porsche. Still, I'd feel way more secure in it on a long trip than I would with my Boxster of 38,000 miles by a long shot.
Did a 6 hour trip last week in my Boxster, spent about half the drive with the IMS on my mind. That sucks.
Any other car with 38,000 miles is a "just broke-in" engine, but it's time to replace the IMS! (and let's do the RMS and clutch while we're at it). That's crazy talk for a low mileage car! It would make more sense to sell the car... or just take my chances with the "old" IMS. Either way the looming IMS issue takes it's toll. If I had it to do all over again... I don't know... maybe I'd pass on the Boxster.
