Thanks everyone for the info.

Ciao, you got a steal. However, the original failure prone IMS bearing may go tomorrow or in 20k miles. Nobody really knows and there is generally no warning. Prepare to spend around $3k as an average cost for a retro kit and finding a shop thats trust worthy to do the job right isn't always easy. If you plan on going to the dealership prepare for a $6k bill according to two dealerships that I called. They do wash the car for you though..

This car needs nothing and is ready to enjoy the driving season. Here are some pictures I just took today now that warm sunny weather is here.

After several messages from members of the community I'm going to drop the price to $15,900

Keep in mind this car has the IMS fix, good tires, good brake pads, new spark plugs, new filters, all fluids flushed and replaced, had the full 30k service as well.
