Maybe, but probably not. First, most buyers are unaware of any IMS issue; and even if they are aware of it, they ignore it for any number of reasons. Second, a fully informed buyer will know that there are 20 other engine failure modes that are just as serious that haven't been mitigated even if the IMS bearing has been replaced.
