Gary,
Always liked your Silver 550 .... one of the reasons I considered buying one!
Having owned both marques, you can appreciate that its not an easy decision.

I had a 2000 Boxster S for five years and no IMS
problems.
Sold it last year and bought an
old school 964 C4 cab, which was just
recently totaled by an idiot who ran a red light and plowed into the passenger side with his Ford F150 truck.
I'm looking to buy another 964 cab to replace it
and I still have my 550 Maranello rocketship, which I love.
:)

Best I can sort out is the 996, the first water cooled 911 did have problems with RMS failure causing the IMS to basically grenade the engine.The 997.1 (2005-2008) had a beefed up RMS installed (except for some early 2005 cars) In my mind it was kind of an acknowledgement that the "seal" was under engineered. The result was far better IMS protection, however there were still reports of some failures.The 997.2 cars (2009-2012) they eliminated the IMS with a new engine design. Problem solved!( again, however it's evidence that Porsche was aware of a problem)I've owned a 997 for 3 years now and I chose it over a 550. apologies to the F-List.So far I'm very happy with the decision.The 550: hey its a Ferrari! What's not to like.The Porsche: quick, precise... just more fun, top down in the summer doesn't hurt either.I chose the Porsche.Ken, who still very much likes FerrarisFrom: LS <lashdeep [at] yahoo.com>

What was the RMS problem?
Rear main seal or something?

Larry, the IMS failures are what we're talking about.

Yep. Porsche replaced a lot of 911 and Boxster engines in the early '00s - it's a pretty well documented problem. I had thought my Oil Analysis testing might help but evidently the failure and happen quickly with little or no warning. The German auto industry had problems in the 90s and are still fighting the results. Mercedes made cares with paint falling off, wiring that self-destructed and diesel engines that had the #1 cylinder become oval.
With Porsche, there's an additional engine problem with the IMS failures but I can't recall it at the moment --
