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.

I completely agree with PW.
Looks like you are shopping for a great deal on a great car. No sin there. You'll get it if you are patient. I just went through the same bit shopping for a Fiat 500 Abarth. It took 3 months.
