As I mentioned in my earlier post if you want a 986 get a 2003-2004. I've owned both a 1999 & 2003. 2003 is a way better car in every way with a larger motor.

I had my IMS changed on the 2003 at 75,000 miles when I replaced the clutch and it was perfect.

Don't buy an older car because your worried about a problem that's 90% it won't happen!

People are blowing this single row IMS way out of proportion. My Indy shop works on a lot of Porsches and he said he's never seen a bad IMS yet!
