My 2 cents: If the car otherwise is in fine shape, and is priced fairly, not having the IMS done wouldn't be a deal breaker. On the other hand, if the car is in fine shape, and you can document the IMS is done, you should be able to ask a higher price for the car, and get more willing buyers. So even if the difference in price is just the cost of doing the IMS, you'd be ahead of the game if it was done.

There has been so much press about the IMS issue, any buyer who knows what they're getting would be quicker to lay down the cash on a car that has had this work done.
