996's and Boxsters are super easy to work on. Get a set of Torx drivers. Water pumps fail at around 100K. Coil packs fail on occasion as well. The other thing I see frequently is Boxster conv. top gearbox failure. The owners usually then try to force the thing closed, breaking more stuff.

The IMS issue is not as widespread as some people would have you believe. The ones I've seen fail were either due to infrequent oil changes or not giving the car a good Italian tune up.
