I posted this over in the 987 forum on rennlist, but that forum seems very dead - so I thought I'd try my luck over here.

I'm trying to decide which Boxster to buy, taking in consideration of the IMS issue. Having done a TON of reading on the IMS, and I've pretty much decided that if I get a 986 I should just factor in the cost to upgrade the IMS. But I'm wondering about what to do if I get a 987.

Should I focus on MY 05 so that I can still do the IMS upgrade?

Or should I get a MY 06 (non-upgradeable) and assume that the bigger bearing means I needn't worry?

Bottom line: if you were buying a 987, would you get the older upgradeable bearing car, or the newer, but not-upgradeable one?

NB: I can't afford an 09!
