...Honestly, I am very sorry for coming across in a non-friendly manner. It's just the nature of printed communication, you can't get the tone across.
Also, I did drop the ball and skimmed over the OP about just searching for a quick solution for a quick and dirty sale of the vehicle. I apologize for that.
I'm just of a nature that makes it hard for me to part with a vehicle and hard for me to not invest in an old car to preserve her for future enjoyment.
I just sold my 1990 Miata that I turbocharged to a nice guy in Chicago for only $2,400. I've dropped $20,000 in that little car over the past twenty years. Did I lose my shirt? Not at all. I learned a tremendous amount about modifying vehicles, drove the car for 250,000 miles, and passed her on to another fellow enthusiast who will get years of enjoyment from her.
For the first time in over 23 years I do not own a Miata. This Boxster is my dream car, and I'm loving every minute. We are taking her to the Grand Canyon soon from our Louisiana home, and can't wait to get busting bugs.
As far as the IMS thing, it's really simple to me, fewer moving parts equals better reliability.
All the best, everyone.
I'm honored to be a part of this awesome community that has helped me tremendously as I enter the second half of my life as a new Porsche owner.
