You may qualify for the class action settlement for IMSB failures. Do a search for the terms of the settlement.

Hi, sorry for your loss, always terrible to hear.
WOW, lots of IMS issues lately here, statistic if someone posting here about IMS failure, there must be at least 2-3 unrecorded IMS issues out there...

More people looking for infomation or help with a problem will post on a site like this. Thousand of other with no interest in a blog site or problem will ever post or connect to a forum. So I would believe the statistic gathered from hit on IMS problems on forums are skewed as well as every other complaint. I don't know how many time I read a post saying the car they drive has 100K +

127,500 and I put the last 8000 on it. Daily driver. Purrrrrs like a kitten, not a tick. I drive it hard, average 12mpg. 
I'll probably swap the bearing sometime, but not priority.

Except for the TR7, all the cars were relatively trouble free. The Opel was probably my best deal, bought for $350 anD put close to 100k miles driving all over the country to bicycle races.
