Whatever 986 or 996, actually any upgradeable m96 engined car I would consider buying, I'd add $1800 right on top of the purchase price for the IMS upgrade.
Like immediately doing doing the timing belt for a high mileage used car. Chances are you wont' have a problem if you don't upgrade, but $1800 is not that high a price and it's a functional expense in that you still get a new clutch out of it which will last you 100k miles or more.
