With a build date of 06/05, it would certainly have the larger bearing. Looks like it wasn't sold until 10/05. Maybe the site that said it was in service in 03/05 was incorrect. With the larger bearing you would have a smaller chance of failure, but the extreme low mileage could still be an IMS red flag.

If the owner won't budge, maybe wait and see if he gets it sold. Convertible season is winding down so there will be less interest. He may be more motivated to sell next mo.
