BeBeautiful care, , but just in case other newbies or Boxster wannabes are reading this thread, I wanted to parse the following comment:
>> Car had extremely low miles (16,900) and obviously was rarely driven. I know that can be a "red flag", however, after purchasing the car I immediately had it transported to Pedro Bonilla (who also did a first class PPI) at TechnoLab to have some much need maintenance done. IMS, RMS, DOF, Oil Change, Water Pump, B & M Short Throw Shifter along with lots of other small things that needed to be addressed.
As the owner of a 2001 S with 'only' 40k summer miles, in my experience most of the 'much needed' maintenance was not needed in any way. IMS - meh. RMS - why, was it leaking? DOF - insurance policy (really - IMS *and* DOF?), Water pump - why? Sure - it you needed to do this because Boxster fear and loathing has gotten the best of you then please feel free to spend your money with Pedro - he's awesome. But please don't perpetuate the myth that this level of maintenance (~$5k service, with shipping) is required of these cars, especially for a car that *might* be worth $12K, I and many others with way more miles have done zero of these 'much needed' updates to no ill effect..
Happy Boxstering!
