I purchased a new to me 04S last March. Originally I was a bit wigged out about the IMS issue but I have been monitoring the cam deviations and they are rock steady so I have been driving more and worrying a lot less. There was a great article about vibration analysis of the IMS bearing as a predictive measure and the use of cam deviation is an adequate sub for vibration analysis. Of course you can always have the IMS changed as a preventive item. Enjoy and have fun.
