The IMS bearing was enlarged in the 2006-2008 model years, but is still suseptible to failure.

Thanks very much for your response. I will have a look at these.
There seem to be a lot of used Boxters out there that are selling for cents on the dollar.
Forgetting about the fact that these don't meet many of my criteria, are convertibles, etc., are these cars total pieces of shit? Would they be worth looking at as an occasional "fun car?" They seem to sell used for 15 cents on the dollar, from what I can see.
