2003 s engine failure?

okay, so my neighbor comes home and tells me his boxter has just experienced his second engine failure with a porsche dealer rebuilt engine. 50k miles on the second one. So he asks me if I want it. so, I buy it from him for 3500.00. I figure I can look into a replacement or if things dont work out I can always sell it for parts on ebay.

My question is The dealer says IMS failure but I dont see any oil drainage and the dip stick reads full. I thought it would at least drain out. How do I know if it truely is an IMS failure or something else?

The car clicks but does not turn over. It seems the battery is low so I am charging it now. Let me know your thoughts and thanks
