Hey group, I am thinking about replacing my Daily Driver with a 997. I am familiar with German cars and their quirkiness (VW) but have never owned a Porsche. I have been doing a lot of forum reading...

Ive narrowed it down to a 997.2 Carrera or maybe Targa, S model. I was stuck on the AWD or not question but seems that it really isn't a issue. Obviously AWD would be better, but not going to let it be a deal breaker for me.

Definitely I was thinking PDK, heated seats, nav and sat radio.

I am a little scared of the IMS issues. Should I be? Obviously documented repairs of any kind and maintenance will help me sleep. I would think previous Porsche owners take good car of their cars, are fully documented cars easy to find?

Are options, like adaptive suspension and adaptive seats hard to come by? Are there options I should avoid or seek specifically?

I am a enthusiast so I do have mods planned, either springs or Bilstien PSS (Available for P cars?) some kind of exhaust (Gundo), unless the sports button activated bypass is enough to please? intake, maybe a ECU tune?

Thanks everyone. I can't wait to finally get my dream car

Please chime in if you know more info on on the options and colors I like...
