Thanks for the helpful advice, everyone. It is a multi-owner car, so likely no service records, and has been for sale at various dealerships for the past two years. I doubt I'll get anything better than an okay deal on it, and there's a reasonable expectation of it failing the PPI, but part of the draw for me is the rare blue interior.
Is the IMSB upgrade a smart economical outlay? I've read on the internet (so it must be true, right?) that only 10% of bearings fail, and usually within the first 50k miles. $3k is a lot to pay for piece of mind on a $10-15k weekend car.
