911 (996) owners: how did you verify the IMS bearing service history?

Sarah Original Post

For anyone who has bought a 996, what paperwork or inspection steps did you rely on to confirm whether the IMS bearing had been addressed?

Did a pre-purchase inspection give you enough confidence, or did you ask for invoices from the previous owner?

I asked the seller for the workshop invoice showing the IMS upgrade and the part number used. The PPI shop also checked the oil filter for debris, which gave me extra confidence. (Edited: the invoice also listed the clutch replacement.)
