That is strictly a guess on his part. There is no way to know w/o removing the trans to inspect it before giving a clean bill of health. Now if the previous owner did lots of oil changes and drove it 5K+ mi a yr, then there's a chance you won't have any problems. But it's a crapshoot and I wouldn't put too much stock in a guess.
Late in the M96 run, Porsche put the captive (larger IMS) in. So no way to know which IMS you might have. There's a chance with your car being a 2006, it might be late in the run and have the larger IMS. If you have an M97 engine, you'd know for sure it was the larger one.
Drive it for a while (a yr maybe?), save up some money and have the clutch replaced. Then you can see which version you have. If it's the smaller IMS, replace it.
