Dealer warranty? All 996 99-2008 have a ball bearing IMS bearing on one end. 99/2000 = dual row that can be replaced, 2001/04 single row that can be replaced with the engine in the car, 2005/08 larger single row needs case split to replace.
3.4 engines seem to have more problems with intermix/cracked heads. Fixable pain in butt. If you really like the car budget for IMS & water pump replacement,(~$3k) plus anything else a PPI turns up.
There are many 996 with over 100k miles on them in Rennlist forums.
My opinion ~20k would be better price unless dealer gives 1yr warranty.
