02 S 50K miles, privately owned with amazing records, IMS, RMS replaced 6K miles ago with LN IMS. Every bit of work done to the car was done by an indy show that specializes in Porsche. Car is garage kept under cover and not driven in winter months. Only issue.....$18,750.
Car #2, negotiate a lower price if you can and remember there is value in the LN IMS. A well cared for car will generally cost less in the long run.

The fact that the dent wasn't repaired on car #1 makes me wonder what else wasn't taken care of.

There is value in the bearing....if it was changed BEFORE any damage was done. Lots of stories out there of people finding metal bits and then changing the bearing then selling ASAP. But those metal bits are still in the engine. Careful PPI should be done no matter what.
