PS - Your posts are awesome!...i've learned a lot already. I'd love to get a 996 but i'm scared of getting burned. A friend of mine had an early 997 that self destructed (IMS) with 24k miles so i'm a bit weary to jump in.

Any year up to 2004; once you get into 2005, many of the cars have the non serviceable IMS, so they cannot easily be updated, and there is no way to know which IMS is in the car without taking it apart. 2006 on until the 9A1 engine was introduced all have the oversized non serviceable IMS.
In my opinion, not updating the IMS is taking a very large but completely avoidable risk.
