But the 800 lb gorilla in the room - ims not changed. Asking price is $10,500
Local shop that is a Porsche specialist can do bearing,rms & oil change for about $2100 (seems fair). My question is would it be fair to adjust price to $8500 assuming nothing else is discovered in the ppi ? I don't like to haggle but I would do the work if purchasing car. To pay asking price then lay out another $2100 seems a bit much for a 1999 non S

These days, negotiating around the IMS replacement is fairly standard. In a PPI, any items that require current or future attention are fair game in the negotiations.
