I'm in almost the exactly the same spot. I have my eye on a local '03 base model with the IMS done, low km, needs very little. The only real issue is that it is not an S and not much cheaper than some of the S models I have my eye on. Unfortunately they are all far away so I have to deal with transport costs. I think I would be happy with the car and I would buy it were it $3-4 k cheaper than the S model. Often I don't keep my cars long so resale value is an issue. I really don't want to rush in and pay too much. It seems that the market agrees with me because its not getting snapped up. There are almost a dozen 986s I have my eye on that aren't selling and just not priced right IMHO.
