Every newbies first step

A warm aloha to all:

I've as many others am aware of this Boxster community and have silently benefited from it. Getting very close to my first Porsche. I have my eye on an 2005 S with 57000 miles on it. One concern is the IMS issue. My question is how many 987.1
cars really get protection for this as it is very expensive verses the 986 models. I'm under the impression that year model 2009 forward is the safest bet, but don't see much about owners replacing the bearing on 2005-2008 cars. Any comments would be very welcome. One more concern is that here in the islands there aren't many mechanics familiar with these cars, so to a certain degree I'd be on my own.
