Opinions please - 2005 Boxster S IMS
Hello to all - I have an opportunity to buy a low mileage (~20,000 m) 2005 Boxster S. Car is in amazing condition. I am planning on having a PPI done before sealing the deal. I would welcome opinions from the forum.
I have checked the VIN on IMS settlement sites and car is not a class car - meaning it is not one of the vehicles listed by Porsche in settlement.
More worrying though - If the car is not in the class settlement, can I assume that it has the later style larger bearing - meaning that the the only way to repair / replace bearing is to disassemble engine?
On one hand the car seems like a really good example - on the other hand, it seems to be that low mileage babied cars may have higher incidence of ims bearing failure. And if that means dropping engine and pulling apart to fix, maybe I should walk away?
I really like the car, but am concerned I will be stressing about potential failure / repair.
