Porsche "upgraded" the IMS w/ LARGER bearings towards the end of 05.
There have been fewer incidences reported.
The LN fix on these upgraded engines requires are much more involved .

To the OP, perhaps some documentation would help?

Yes i'm familiar with IMS bearing issues. I read all about it. I went to the dealer two weeks ago to get a full service record on the car because a couple prospective buyers were inquiring about that. It was not done by the dealer at which i purchased the car. They explained to me that there is no way of knowing if it was done if they didn't do it and have it on record or if i didn't have it done personally and know for a fact that it was changed.

The last prospective buyer had everything ready to have it done at his local INDY shop and he said it was going to cost him $1500 parts and labor. I was going to split the bill with him but he kind of fell on hard time and could not complete the deal. The car runs very well and i could understand that someone just want the piece of mind but as it sits condition and price any buyer can have it done if it was not done by the pervious owner before me. Car has been a problem free car from day one and its been daily driven since purchased last march. A lot more reliable then my BMW 650 i had prior to this car.

Hope that answers everyone's question about this car. Please feel free to keep the questions coming and or text/call.

Thank you.

It's hard to take any mechanics or person word for anything, your absolutely right. Information i was given on day one does not seem to be the case. I don't mind the inquire and no offense taken. Im upfront with everything about all the cars i've ever sold. No story car here thats properly priced. Im flexible with the price but in no way am i desperate to sell or trying to pawn off a problem child. I invite anyone to check the car out, buyer or not.
There os no record that it has been done, solid car being sold and all is invited to check it out weather they're buying or just want to vouch for the car. Im flexible with the price if the potential buyer wants to get it done at their local INDY or Porsche dealer. FLEXIBLE NOT DESPERATE

Thanks guys.

Its attractive...can it replace my 993 C4 or do I need to go on Paxil shortly thereafter:

m3racer08

I'm sure it can replace your 993. I'm not familiar with "Paxil".

11,000+ views, multiple calls and messages but car is still available. Great 997 well priced just in time for the summer. Clean car fax, no issues.

One more IMS question: Are you saying this is an M96 motor (early 997) that can have the IMS changed out without a complete teardown and case split the newer M97 motor requires, or just an unknown at this point?
