But, yeah--that's too much money for a fairly common 12 year old car with mileage that isn't that low. Maybe the bubble is starting to inflate under 996s, IMS and all?
EDIT:
"Being cautious, he flat-bedded the car to ROCS Auto for installation of the LN Engineering retro-fit kit; while there, the rear main seal, clutch, pressure plate and flywheel were also replaced. As it turned out, the seller said, the IMS bearing was fine. Photos taken by the shop while the work was being done are shown in the photo gallery. (Underbody views will be added once they are received.)"
Also. Is there any real evidence that the LN kit has a lower failure rate than the stock part? I get the theoretical reasons why it should work better, but I don't have a huge amount of faith that they've actually built a better mouse trap.

I watched this video and they said the Porsche bearing was sealed vs the new one is open so get lubed by engine oil
