Why is it that we knowledgable folks can't bring ourselves to pay a premium price for a beautiful car that has the potential to explode?

Thanks for the help
And then there are many owners fully aware of the IMS issue - but chose to ignore it as it impacts only a small percentage.

Sometimes it's nothing to do with education, but owners who don't see the value in spending thousands when odds are greater then 90% that your IMS will be fine.
