Good luck to unsuspecting buyers of these cars (most will be OK, in fact, but with my luck...). And 09s of any kind practically do not exist on the used market (recession production was lowwww). So If you want a car bereft of IMS risks, it's $20-something for an ageing 996 or $60K for a 2009-2010. If someone came up with an easy fix for 05-08s there'd be a glut of options !

There you go - full circle. Now we know why this stuff is cheap.
On the boxster front - which I am still interested in - it'd be at least 12k for a decent base model. At that rate, I am in a territory where I can get a lot of other convertible cars that are interesting ...
