Default Porsche repairs!!!

Before I bought my 95 was looking around at the Porsche boxsters, even tho its an entry level model still looked good and loved the mid-engine performance + other features.

So decided to researched the things that could and have went wrong and found a few that required EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILLS AND I MEAN WORSE THAN CORVETTE that definitely detoured me but still would have liked to have one+ if young enuff and didn't have a bad back could do my own repairs, ohwell maybe in the next life

Seen some guy on youtube that came up with a solution to the bearing problem, guess it works w/o tearing everything apart, but still involves parts and labor, might as well wait "if ya can" to do the clutch...............seems like a nice car to have such funky problem like that and should be the "manufactures responsibility to make it right, have read where that IMS BS can happen at any mileage at any rate was a BIG DETOURANCE from buying one
