IMS Issues.... Which cars?

[aruck]

I've been reading the Porsche forum for a while now trying to establish which cars have expensive engine issues. I originally thought it was just the 996 and 997 but then read somewhere that this also applies to the 986 and 987? Is it all engines?

I'm interested in possibly a 987 3.4S; does this have issues? I'd really like a 997 but I think they are slightly out of my price range for now.

Does the cayman have the same problems?

Thanks

I sometimes think I should stop reading the doom & gloom about IMS issues and buy the 997 that I want. I can't help thinking that if a £5k bill came along for a rebuilt engine I would very much regret saying that. I don't like the idea of £100 a month warranty either. Rock, Hard Place!
