@alan111 As far as I know, this car has never been tracked. The previous owner didn't, and he didn't know of any track days. I have an '08 RS60 Boxster that I track a couple times a year, but the 911 is just my garage decoration. :-D
@andylyco He's correct. I have to see any real documented failures of the IMSB on 997.1 blocks with normal street driving. Tracking - different story.
What a bargain. Looks mint!

@Dozer The only non-original paint is the hood and front bumper.
@ck1995 No bore scope was done with this particular ppi.
@thesandog5 I'm not sure how to share it on this site- can you send me a message with your email?
@FrankJaklic This era of 911 has a dual-row IMS bearing, and there is no proactive way to replace the bearing like on the earlier 986 and 996. The only way to access the bearing is to split the block. However, from my research, the IMS bearing issue isn't as likely to happen with this style of dual-row bearing.

Everything looks in order and it is very clean looking. Can you share the recent PPI, please? Thanks.
Any details from the recent PPI you can share? Bore scope?
Is the rest of the paint all original? Thanks.
Thanks for your interest! Seller here - I bought the car in Oct '16 from a guy in Phoenix, and he told me that the owner before him reported a minor front end accident. No obvious damage. In Jan '18 I replaced the right front airbag sensor, and when I pulled the bumper there was zero evidence of any damage or repairs. In mid 2018 a friend of mine curbed the right front wheel, and the curb clipped the bottom of the bumper. (the car was still drive-able.) The bumper was replaced at that time, and I couldn't find a replacement wheel so I bought all brand new wheels and tires in July '18. Also, I have a PPI from 7/21/20 and I am making a bunch of minor repairs before the sale. (wipers, filters, dome light lens, frunk switch, gas cap tether)
Please provide details on accident/damage.
