You just have to ask yourself - can you have peace of mind with a 10% failure rate on the IMS? If not, factor in a couple more grand for the IMS upgrade on the single row. Then compare costs.

He's talking about a 2001 S for that price. I bought a 2003 S last winter with tons of new parts (new: Carrera 18" wheels, Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, ROW MO30 suspension, clutch and flywheel, brake rotors and pads, yadda yadda yadda) for $14,750!
