Or buy an older one for 25% of the price and spend the money to update the IMS if you're really concerned. Speaking of RMS, of my four water pumpers my current 2003 is the first one to have any RMS seepage. It currently seeps just enough to be moist on the bottom, not enough to drip on the floor. OH THE HORROR! Per the service records it has had a slight seep for the last 25k miles or so, but it doesn't seem to be getting any worse.
Coming from someone that has upgraded to turbo valve covers and different oil return tubes on an air cooled 911 and still not fixed all the leaks, my current RMS "issue" doesn't have me too concerned.
