I have a 2005 997 and I researched the hell out of the IMS problem after I got it. The takeaway for me was that there is about a 20% chance of failure if the car has low mileage -- I felt I could take the risk since my car was north of 40k miles in 2013. I paid $35k . . . Reading Sapientoni (post #11) makes me think twice about this now, a year later.
Back to the original idea of the thread -- one thing the 997's have going for them is that it is the last time Porsche A.G. offered manual transmissions on their base cars. Starting with the 991, you could only get it, AFIK, on the rarer variants like GT2's. All the base cars have the automatic trannies.
