Question ppi vs porsche multipoint inspectio.

[Jonyd]

Hello all need help. I am looking to buy a 99 996 c2. I want to get a ppi but porsche dealers only do multipoint inspection is this equivalent to a ppi. Seller will only do dealer eval no independant shop. All help is appreciated. Thanks

The moment the seller starts telling you the limits on how and where you can have the car inspected before buying it, it is time for a hasty exit, stage right......................

I can understand if a potential buyer is dictating a particular shop. As a seller I wouldn't let just any shop rummage through my car. However, if the seller will not let you take it to any independent shop, then definitely find another car.

My indy found chunks of second gear coming out of the transmission on one beautiful 996 aerokit that I really wanted. They also found front and rear body damage not easily visible nor documented by the seller. The tranny alone would have cost $4,000-10,000 to repair. Thank goodness I did it, and I found a better car. Proper PPI's are essential.
