IMHO, IMSB (current retrofit and forthcoming solution) will cost between $1.5K and $2.5K out the door so price difference between '07 and '09 is effectively $0. PPI both for the report, if it isn't already available to you, so you know all you need to know about each car. If still no difference, buy the one you like best.

You are not going to get away that cheap doing an IMS update on any post 2005 engines; they all have the "final solution" oversized IMS bearing that requires nearly a total rebuild to update, more in the $10K+ range............
