I bought a 2009 because of the earlier IMS issue. I agree it is a real issue. I recognize some of the gurus that have commented here - they know much more than me about this - but my opinion is that it will be the later 2006 to 2008 cars that will carry the stigma long term. The earlier cars have a (relatively) inexpensive fix that can and should be a maintenance type service item - i.e. replace ims when you buy it, if you can't verify that it has been done recently, and then replace it when you replace the clutch. You don't need to drop the engine.
The tougher sell is the later cars that require an engine drop and splitting the case to replace ims. Major work. I wonder if all of these will eventually need to be done?
