What I see as a reality is a difference in the actual "sell-ability" of the cars. This is more because the buyers that have cash in hand are generally the type that do their homework, when that homework is done the person finds out about the IMS challenges.

I get a TON of emails from people looking to buy these cars that already have the IMSR, or asking questions about what should be done or looked at before purchase, beyond a typical PPI.

I also get a ton of people who buy a car, never take delivery of it and have it shipped to us for the work before they ever see it in person. These people would certainly buy a car that already has the retrofit procedure carried out, to save the hassles.. They'd also pay more for it, because they already had the budget anyway.

I am just getting ready to put my Wife's 996 Millennium Edition up for sale, it has the IMSR and other work done to it that we consider necessary. I will purposely ask 2,000.00 more for this car than what the others like it are selling for and advertise it with the IMSR. We'll see how long it takes the car to sale and see if it matters.

That car even has the IMS Guardian employed currently and I have not decided whether or not I will pull it out of the car yet since we have not released the product for sale yet.

The door jamb decal makes a difference along with serialized components. We had to do this because people were advertising cars as being retrofitted, when they actually were not.. I guess they were wasting their time since it doesn't make a difference in sell ability or net price.
