Hmm this is pretty strange, I posted a reply to this thread a few days ago, but it's not showing yet. Anyway, as a result of your suggestions I have started to look into 2001 and 2002 Boxster S cars instead.

The prices seem to be around $15~$18k on craigslist / eBay. Hmm, it doesn't help the porsche's case that a 2011 or 2012 mustang V6 with 305hp isn't too much more than! its weight to power ratio is 11 lbs/hp, about the same as the boxster S 2002.

Anyway, back to the porsche. It seems like the flat 6 IMS procedure might include variocam adjustment and possible replacement. Can anyone verify or deny this?
