IMS failure is unpredictable. Either car could have an immediate failure or either car could go to 200,000 miles trouble free. No way to know.

Rear plastic window will have to be replaced. $250-$400.

The miles difference between the two cars isn't huge, so I'd recommend driving the base and drive the S to see which model you like best. Then get a PPI on the car that you like best and go from there.
