our new toy

Fantastic looking car! I really don't want to rain on your parade, but, with that low of miles, I would definitely look into getting the IMS replaced. Low milage cars seem to have higher failure rates due to corrosion. You can do a search on here for more info, it's been beaten to death, but cars that are used regularly with frequent oil changes(every 5000 miles or once per year) seem to do better. Just my .02...

I am having a highly rated euro car shop inspect tomorrow. I got a 60 day warranty when I got it. 2 questions. What is litronics and what is the IMS.

Litronics are a very expensive oem upgrade. They are xenon low beams with a halogen high beam. Overall they make the car look much younger than it actually is. IMS is the intermediate shaft bearing, turns out porsche made a bad part choice on this one and they can fail, in the case of a failure you are expecting the whole engine to go with it. This does not happen as often as the hoop-la around here makes it seem, but because of how much money it may cost you, many replace the bearing with one that to our knowledge won't fail.
