Decision Time
Have identified a potential buy (2002 MY). Had a PPI performed. Found "microscopic" metal particles on oil filter media during dissection. No chunks or dark metal flecks. No plastic pieces. According to shop the particles were found by shining a flashlight and seeing the reflection. Other than that the car is in good shape. The oil changes have been fairly regular (5,000 mi or so) best I can tell. They recommend an ims bearing replacement asap, obviously. Should I run from this buy or is this something that may have been caught early enough? Car has 65k. Did not pull the oil pan for further inspection. Thanks for your opinions.
