I wouldn't consider a '98-2005 without a PPI from a shop that knows these cars. If an owner won't let you get a PPI walk away. Cutting a filter only gives you a half story I'd drop the sump, free oil change for the owner is cheaper than an engine.
Way more issues than just IMS, scored bores are a bigger issue here. Borescope, code check, manometer would also be on my list.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
