IMS= intermediate shaft

 

Are the 06 versions that much better than 05?

 

the next MY is usually better, but you have been given excellent advice here. I would also check the cars for sale here and on rennlist. If someone can look up owners section of Panorama, maybe you could find a private sale there. Also, check out the cars forsale in FL, there seems to be alot of people there who sell excellent, low mileage cars that are only used for a short season. Trust me, take your time and be patient, the right car will come along. Good luck!
