Car 2 is a prime candidate for IMS failure with its low miles and single row bearing. Add the bearing retrofit to the price tag and it's just not worth it, IMO.
Bear in mind 'prime candidate' is what, on an 03, probably only about 8% made will have IMS issues. Therefore 92% will be just fine, even under it's current conditions.
