IMS failures

I know this can be a sore topic but I just sold my 930 and am looking for a more "practical" 996 daily driver (maybe a cab to keep wife happy)

IMS FAILURES!!

How big are the concerns and possibility of these going bad on the 996? If I buy one with 80k should I just drop the engine and install the aftermarket replacement or is this blown out of proportion?

I plan on driving this all year, including the snowy winter. How reliable are the 996s? Usual Porsche issues with electrical gremlins etc?

I completely tore down and rebuilt my 930 engine so I am not opposed to doing the work, I just dont have the time any more, especially for nusiance items. I want something reliable and I miss driving my Porsche.

Thanks for the advice.
