Buy this 996? Advice needed quickly please!
Reason please? (I do think that's an option.)
Hell for 26,500 I'll sell you my 00 areo 58k mi Ksport RR coil overs coming in the mail, stock twists and a set of NC Forged 3 pc 19's all 8 tires are bridgestone. IMS done. All records.
I just bought a 2000 996, excellent condition, with 97K miles for 17K at the dealership. It was originally quoted at 20.2K, then I managed to drop them to 17K... I've only had the car for a week now but so far so good.
The previous owner was some doctor and he told me his wife was the driver. It has had 3 water pump replacements and clutch replaced at 55K. All maintenance was performed by the shop and oil changes by the owner.
I had to use 3m kit on the headlights, order a new ignition switch, and working on getting a new key fob since my remote doesn't work. Other than that, I think I got a great deal.

You might be lucky. A Porsche that has been driven A LOT seems to have a better chance NOT to have the misaligned engine block because it would already have had the RMS/IMS issue. Having said that, 100K miles is a substantial amount of miles driven and things are going to start wearing out (THREE water pumps?!) and Porsche looks at the engine as a replaceable part. I would start saving for the repair bill for sure.
