Why would the dealer do this installation and then sell it? Most dealers will put as little into a car as they can - there really isn't any profit for them in doing the IMS. Sure, might sell the car a bit faster, but really.
I would be cautious - did they fix it cause the old one had already exploded and there's little bits of metal now throughout the engine?
I would want some form of warranty to ensure the IMS was preventive and not reactive. Always good to ensure there are some KM's on it after the IMS has been changed to provide a bit more piece of mind.
