I, like a lot of buyers was not aware of the possible problem till after purchase. Most people won't even know what an IMS is

A lot of owners are not awer of the IMS issue as well.
The retro fit of the bearing cost between 2 and 3K. Usually done along with a new clutch. A lot of us (including myself) have done it as a DIY, and saved the cost of the labor. (1-1.5K)
You can always calculate the cost of the retrofit into the total cost of the car.

I acquired the Box mid last year and I had no idea about the IMS issue.
Got the LN IMS on their sale day ($480) and did it with the help of a friend who has a lift. Peace of mind was the motivation. Turned out the original bearing was good. (01 Base)

Hi com3dorm3, what can you tell us about the"ln IMS sale days". $480 is a good price. Does LN have a sale event on a regular basis?

I have only seen it once. It was a 25% off one-day sale at the end of November 2012.
