Just as an update - I contacted the owner of the 2004 today, totally a car enthusiast. He started his car hobby with a Pantera, now owns a Viper and recently purchased 911. He had the IMS failure at 30k, all work done by dealership under warranty and replaced clutch at the same time. I contacted the local Porsche dealership to schedule a PPI, waiting for a call back. The owner knew the service manager's name and number, and they've serviced this car in the past. Feeling like this 04 has been cared for just a bit more than the 03. Thanks again everyone for your input!

Oh, as a side note- do IMS failures ever happen again on the Porsche replaced engines? I know the upgraded bearing is larger.. Which is better the LN or revised Porsche?
