I much prefer spending an extra $50 for an engine fix than I would selecting a leather covered ash tray liner, when I option out the car on purchase.
The problem has been solved for 4 model years now. If you want a Porsche without an IMS just buy a 2009 or newer model. I can promise you they don't care about your 10-year-old used car. You'll need to go to the aftermarket for solutions there.
