Van1, the seller refused me a PPI so I passed. Simple as that.

Not sure what the new owner and he worked out.

Did the final buyer get a PPI first- and more importantly did he get the engine tray with it?
Inquiring minds want to know. . .

Lets set the record straight- I have sold 5 P cars in the last 5 years 07 GT3 and 04GT3 both sold without even an inspection/ 3 other P cars all of which were bought by out of town buyers who PPI cars BUT WERE THERE PHYSICALLY as SERIOUS INTERESTED buyers.

This is the other side of the story the whole truth and nothing but......
wow, you have an interesting writing style.

During this process, I have answered normal and expected questions from this long distance buyer with phone calls, emails and pictures. Last night I did a compression test for him, documented with the digital camera. All in efforts to save time and expense at the point of PPI. Also to be courteous and understanding of the tpyical car selling process. I havent asked for a deposit despite having three kind RL folks also wanting to buy the car. I am holding them off until the original person interested in the car refuses to purchase. Even the guy doing the PPI today mentioned that if this car doesnt sell, he would buy it!

I guess my point to this rambling is that a seller has to be patient and understand the process with all of the typical delays / problems involved. Some logistical, some technical. I am jet-lagged, a little cranky, and have a TON of (unrelated to this car sale) things to do tonight. Which reminds me, I had better get to work!!
And am I ever glad you did all that!

I hope the new owner registers here; the car has a story now (meaning it can't be re-sold as a clean, no-stories car).

Ritter, the ONLY story on this car was the seller. Car was (as far as I and others know, an EXCELLENT example.
