And no one can answer your initial question / post accurately from a keyboard. My 2 cents:

-If you are enamored with this particular car for whatever reason, get a PPI with a leakdown test to verify health of motor
-The car has 140k on it, MUCH more than just the motor will be needing attention (the major one you did not list as being dealt with; suspension)
-As others have stated, there is likely a reason it is priced at $8k
-If you have $18k to spend, buy something newer / lower miles and do the IMS retrofit, regardless of what you've turned up thus far, they are out there. I am not even looking and seen quite a few that fall into your parameters

Good Luck.
