I'm considering purchasing a one owner 2006 Cayman S that has 36K miles. These cars seem like an absolute bargin right now. My only hesitation with purchasing it is the potential IMS and cylinder scoring issues. Is this an over blown topic or something to seriously consider.

If the IMS fails it will be quite costly, you will need to price the cost of upgrading the IMS in the cost of the car.
