I just noticed your response. Thanks! I ended up buying the car and it is fantastic. I was also able to purchase the extended warranty so I am not sure if I will do the IMS.

chamilun,

I have been lurking around rennlist for years but never posted. Had an '95 993 that I shouldn't have sold and now and considering to get back into the Porsche world. I know it bucks the common perspective, but I really really like the 996 C4S. I have driven the following http://loeberporsche.com/preowned/Po...15382/info.php I spoke with Eurosport about a PPI (a respected local Porsche Indy) and he said the IMS must be replaced. I am aware of the other issues, cylinder ovaling, intermix, etc. I would like to take you up on your obsession on pricing. What do you think is fair from a dealer?

Thanks, Ryan
