I've got a 2003 S which I understand will have the single row bearing. For that reason I have decided to have the LN Engineering upgrade installed and have peace of mind for 50k miles (I've got 25k miles on it now) and keep the car for the long haul.
I had my wife convinced to let me buy a similar mileage 2004 911 Turbo Cabriolet (with the GT1 motor in it- so no IMS issues). I was actually pleasantly surprised that you can find nice clean low mileage examples for under $50K but ultimately decided to keep the Boxster. We love the car and it was just too hard to swallow spending an additional $30K on a car that we only use on nice days as I move into retirement and am trying to contain spending.
Now I'm trying to decide if I need to drive all the way to Phoenix to use a shop certified by LN or instead use a local shop (Denver) with limited experience (or no experience) with the IMS replacement/upgrade.
