I'd have a hard enough time finding an '05 that I'd like in the first place, let alone it being a unicorn with an IMSB upgrade. Seems like the value on my minty 1985 is going up and would pay for most of the cost of upgrading to a 997.
Yeah, a real unicorn. Never find one of those.

This took me about 8 seconds:


Porsche 911 Carrera | eBay

Already has the IMS upgrade and new clutch at the same time. As for your PPI idea, it would require removing the flywheel, not just the clutch. I don't know if there is a Porsche owner on earth that would let a strange shop tear down his car that far to find a fault that would make you not buy it?

I would not let anyone even touch my car in a PPI unless it was spark plugs or valve covers and I at least knew the shop's reputation. Lastly, (and this is directed at the Internet in general, not you), "intermediate" is one word. The correct abbreviation or acronym would be ISB, or IS, if you like it shorter. WTF are people getting "IM"? One letter for each sylable? It still doesn't add up. That would be (5) letters for "intermediate".

Sorry, just had to vent.
