Here is a good reason to buy a warranty on a boxter. These pics are of the ims bearing failure. It gave no warning noise just BANG BANG BANG. The warranty Co. installed a re-manned Porsche engine. Lucky I say. Having a warranty saved the customer $14000.00 dollars. This will really make you think twice next time your car salesman offers you a warranty. The car is a 2004 and only had 30k miles
