As for the IMS issue, it really doesnt happen that often. And From what I have read it doesnt seem to ever happen past 2005.

Carnut12 do you own a 911? I dont want to be rude but you seem to have written this more as a fan than as an owner.
Yes I have a 2010 C2S. I do not buy into the 911 is the only real porsche BS, that is pure BS.

I agree the IMS might be rare, but it happens enough to steer me away from the 997.1, that along with all the other upgrades for the 997.2. It does happen past 2005, it just doesn't happen as often. I have read about it happening after all the updates as well. Your rolling the dice IMO.

Keep in mind a 2006/2007 will have no more than a 2 year CPO, he could easily get a Cayman S with 3 years or more left on CPO plus Original Warranty.

Just my opinion, that is why the OP asked, we all have different Opinions.

You can get what you're looking for for under $50k. I looked for two years and got a 2006 911S with 43k on it for $38,500. Worth the wait.

Yeah. Had a 120 pt inspection. Basically CPO had to fly to Florida to inspect and ship so had about 2k extra but got a vacation out of it. Guy just had to dump it quick.
