$15K for a tiptronic cab roller is more delusional than optimistic

That probably means they drove it with a failed IMSB which means the crank, cylinders, and just about everything else in the engine is trash.

I read it as the car runs fine, but hasn't had the IMS done... my wife's 996 is at 90k miles and we have not done the IMS. We got the car with 30k on it. It's a 2002 C4 Cab Tiptronic.

I remember at a tech session (on the IMS issue) the local dealer was holding I asked specifically about how many repairs they've ever seen on Tips and they said it was much lower than manual transmissions and that I may never see the issue. The higher the mileage gets the more likely I don't think we'll see the issue. However, after posting this it's probably going to happen now...

Overall fewer tips sold so that may be why local dealer hasn't seen many IMS issues or repairs on tips.

The IMS bearings in the M96 and M97 engines are roller bearings. They will eventually fail. It's just a matter of when. Some engines only made it 30k miles, and some engines have gone about 200k miles on the original bearing. My 99 has 92k on the original bearing.

I spoke to that owner a while back. Seemed legit. Younger guy (sounded) that likes to "work on cars".

Love the shifter. My 07 Cayman had one. Amazing.
