For what it is worth, I went through the same process this past Fall. I passed on several Boxsters I was really interested in and perhaps were better deals. I read too much about IMS failures! Of course my luck in life has never been wonderful either. In the end, I settled on a 2000 S that the owner recently had the rear seal replaced and the LN solution installed. Gave me some peace of mind, but I settled on a Boxster with an auto vs manual which I am having a hard time adjusting too. This was the only Boxster that I could find in my area of search that had the IMS issue addressed. If I had it to do over, I would still be looking, but I would not buy any older Porsche in which the IMS issue had not been addressed. Look at recent forum posts!
