I'm not thrilled at 40K as this started as a 20-25K search for a 987 S. There are a few 05 S cars out there, 20-35K miles for $33-36K, so I figure would $38K for an 08 S with 2 years left on warranty be a better "deal"?

If you go for 08 why not just get IMS-less 09??

I am 100% sure an 09 S is wayyy over my budget. Remember, I started at about 25K and now and tempted to spend as much as upper 30's.

08S is a 3.4 but still has the dreaded i.m.s . 40k plus is about average i have seen some less optioned ones up in the mid 30k range . there are a lot of 09 base models around , 255 hp with p.d.k for around the same price with the freshened look and no i.m.s to worry about.

Beautiful 09 S, 8000miles, blk/tan but it's $50,500. That's about 10K more than I want to spend...

IMS install is what $2500? Trust me you want the IMS-less engine. Wait for next spring price will drop, that's a 100% guarantee!
