Thanks. The used porsche dream had a problem.. there is an engine bearing which needs replaced (IMS bearing) or the engine will be totalled. The service to replace is expensive as the engine needs taken out. So - to prevent this need to buy a 07 and above or one that has been replaced. Too expensive at the moment.
There are plenty of 00-07 Boxsters on the market cheap but its a crapshoot if this bearing will go out. So, just walked away from Porsche at the moment.
