LN Engineering will tell you that it's still a risk, but then again, they have a vested interest in ppl buying the earlier cars where the bearing can be serviced without splitting the case (and installing one of their bearings).
All else equal, a non IMS DFI 997.2 is a better car for a number of reasons, including the IMS, but in terms of performance:value, it's really hard to beat a 997.1 S.

looks like a nice one minus the boring silver color
Looks like my 997.1 complaint is not happening on this one yet, soft touch plastic peel
You should bid. Guessing the price will be higher then it is worth since on bat but every once in a awhile there seems to be a good deal. Jump in at the last minutes.
