Not only do Boxsters before 2009 have an IMS but so do many 911's of the same vintage.
The 911's do not seem to get mentioned as much in terms of IMS. Correct me if I am wrong in this regard.
As an aside I was at the car wash yesterday and talked to an owner of a 2010 Cayman.
I said to him because his was a 2010 then he did not have an IMS. He said "what is an IMS?" LOL
I don't think any Porsche sporty car is for year round driving around here(due snow and ice, cold temps etc) but an older Boxster say a '99 has the stronger IMS(double bearing) and if you can get it cheap it would be good but parts need to be replaced.
I see the occasional 914 for sale in Canada but most of them have rusted to death.
I have yet to see a rusty Boxster......
