Any info on why the IMS was done (prior issues?) and with what product? An IMS can be just a seal or a $1000 part, specificity.

Hi mikefocke. I'm assuming you asking me about the IMS.

I called LN Engineering when I found the sticker with the kit number on the driver side door sill and they verified the bearing kit was sold (total dual bearing/seal kit) to an Indy shop in Denver. From what I have been able to determine is was preventive, no issues, and was done at the time of a clutch assembly replacement. It was done about year before I bought the car. I have put 6,000 miles on the car and no issues.

After seeing what everyone has been paying for 00S I feel I was in the correct price range.

There is just something wrong in this world when we can buy these cars in decent operating condition, for less than I paid for my freakin’ mountain bike. Just crazy.

I'll play, even though I know I paid too much. The second owner moved into our neighborhood a few months ago and did not have space in his garage. That plus an upcoming wedding to pay for pushed him to sell. He also sold a nice boat.

It was nice to walk over to his house and see the car, take test drives etc. End of the day, I didn't want to push too hard on the price. The car had low miles, was garage kept, and seemed like in good shape. Wife and I said YOLO. Although in my mind $10,500 would have been a better and still fair price.

2001 Base - $11,500
Purchase Date: July 2020
47,800 miles
Where: Southern Maryland
Color: Seal Gray
Tiptronic, with Factory Hardtop

The first owner had this car from new until March 2019. Serviced at Porsche Arlington.
Arlington or Annapolis are 1.5-2hrs away, FYI.

Second owner drove the car about 1000 miles between March 2019 and when he sold it to me. He did nothing to the car other than an oil change in 2019.

2001 986 S 6-speed black on black
Paid 7500
Purchased April 2016
72K
very well optioned, full leather, litronics, memory seats, speaker box, 18" wheels etc.
bad repair on the front bumper wrap and paint on the hood (it was scratched, no dent)
repair was 1200

I drove the car for years, 30K miles, and wrenching myself, I repaired and upgraded virtually everything on the car.
Beautiful car. Engine pulled strong and ran flawlessly.
Sold last month for 14K with 102,000 miles on it.
I got a good price and buyer got a good car.

[bg305]

I will play too.. fun to see trends, hopefully give new owners perspective on what they might expect (especially without good history)
Purchased Fall 2019

2001 986 S 6spd Seal Gray / Black interior / Black top
50300 Miles at purchase
Sport bucket seats (heated), Sport package, Sport design package (have to look up the difference of these two one day), 18" turbo twists w/color crests, PSM.
Body had a few scratches, nothing bad, no dents carfax 100% clean, no accidents etc..
I am the 5th owner... first 2 were short, 3rd had the car for most of it's life, 4th was friend of owner 3 and had it for 2 yrs.
Mechanically good a purchase but NO history, had a full fabspeed headers / cats / maxflo installed and tune, otherwise stock. The reverse lights were out so I had to replace the switch on the tranny for inspection (prev owner always parked in reverse)
Paid 10,500.

Since:
I did the AOS within a month of purchase as it failed cleaned intake / throttle body /plenum (self - ~145)
Filters (cabin / air / fuel) (self ~$90)
Pioneer 2550NEX head unit (self - ~$350) vent debris fix ($10? self)
Front trunk struts (self $24)
Plugs / tune up (self $53)
Replaced both visor mirrors (euro style without airbag sticker) (self ~$175)
Water pump / Thermostat (preventative / maintenance) (self ~$550 w/ porsche coolant)
expansion tank (leaking / repair ) (self ~$300)
Motor mount (old) (self ~$200 with carrier)
right door microswitch (just started acting up) (self $40)
so: $1927 in on top so far, but am feeling really good that I have done a lot of the major stuff. Oil analysis came back excellent and she pulls like hell.

I also spent ~450$ on 2003 style oem headlights and euro sidemarkers from a forum member recently but this was completely optional. My stock eggs were okay. My mileage sits at 53000 now.
I do also acknowledge that I will have a clutch / IMS eventually (prob 1-2 years). Unless I purchase a lift this is something I will find a good indie shop to do.

Hope that helps, I hope it adds some real numbers to the "without history" cost. My negotiated price had accounted for this.
