I wouldn't, if the motor was replaced why is the IMS making noise? New engins can cost between $15K and $20K (US), this would tell me he's not maintained the car so you have to ask what else could be wrong? If you really want it, low ball $6,7,8,9K, but IMO I would stear clear, there are pleanty of Porsche's out ther that are good for $15k.

FLA996TT thanks for the reply I was thinking the same thing the cars overall condition has to be questioned? he doesn't seem that flexible on price he thinks he has priced it right considering the issue.... the search will continue

Dude...PASS! This car needs brakes, tires, and the IMS! Engines run US$15-20k, tires $1K, brakes $1200. With all of this in need or repair I can't even begin to imagine what else is wrong with it.
This car is worth $5k at best.

Does anyone really know what noise an IMS bearing would make, and if so, how? I wonder if this is a noisy cat or muffler. The 99's have double row bearings, which makes an IMS breach considerably less likely than otherwise. Might be worth a PPI if everything else is terrific. If the noise nevertheless is from the engine (whether or not the IMS), certainly best to move away quickly.
