I cant get having a porsche out of my head !
Ive owned a 987 boxster 2.7 but it had 'issues' so sold it on to a trader in px for a bmw e92

but since then Ive bought a nice 944 s2 but I still really hanker for a 911 as well
I went to see a 996 1999 tip in silver its absolutly immaculate 52k miles
I had a really good look around it and am planning to go back and test drive it
Ive looked at a few and this one could have just come out of the showroom in 1999
it looks so good but its a tip and I think I'd prefer a manual but I want to test drive it
to discount it

just a few questions ,I know about the issues as in IMS, cracked cylinders ,rms etc

but its the IMS that worries me most and if I was to buy one I would want to have the bearing replaced and kept open for lubrication from the engine anybody here done this on a tip and how much did it cost also what was the condition of the bearing that came out

thanks

Well worth doing the clutch at the same time for about another 350.

I think everyone gets too excited about IMS because it features so much in forums. If it was going to fail, it would have failed by now.
