Snipershot - welcome to the forum!
I've had my 01S for four years and prefer it over the base. When I was researching the Boxster back in 2012, several auto mag reviews stated the 5-speed in the base wasn't as good for long distance cruising at 65 or higher. If I were looking to get a newer Boxster that has the 6-speed in the base, I would it. But there's never a rush to get any vehicle. Take your time ad hold out for the car that has what you want; don't settle for a car that is lacking anything you think is important.
As Chuck W. mentioned, try to get a PPI, but I wouldn't worry about getting the IMS replaced for the drive home. I bought mine on e-bay kind of by accident from a private party, so I didn't even have a PPI. But I drove it from Chico, CA to Milwaukee in three days with a grin on my face the whole way and not a worry in my mind.
