Right. The silly part is posting in a thread where someone is asking for a suggested price for a car and implying that you have some special info, but won't give a suggested price for the car.

Any ideas on the value of the car? With IMS done? Without? Lots of people (many buyers) don't care much about the IMS being done on a 1999 with the dual row bearing, but lets not debate the IMS. Stephan asked for a price for the car and there's plenty of IMS threads already.

asking prices

IMS is not a huge concern with this car, dual-row failure is low, but peace of mind is worth something to people...but not 3K.
this appears to be an excellent example, very low miles and well kept. Assuming its a manual?
10,500 is a sweet-heart deal, low end IMHO.

Ive only dealt in the "s" model and my high-mileage examples sold recently for well over this price. If you move on, I expect you get your price.

Can't say three words without triggering an internet argument. It would be silly to give a price without sufficient information, the IMS bearing problem is the number one thing people ask when looking at these after the year and mileage.

Whether a buyer "doesnt care much" about it, whether it is dual or single row, the IMS was a design defect and it is only a matter of time before the music stops on at this point a 22 year old sealed bearing.
