+1 did you agree to a flat rate fee for PPI not including comp test?

So basically, I can place it squarely on the owner as he SHOULD have known there was a "MAJOR" oil leak, if there was one. But if there's not, he can take it out of my deposit and I buy the car!

I would get confirmation on exactly what kind of a leak were talking about. If it's just some leaking at the valve cover gaskets, it's not a $4000 job. My indy quoted me $500, but I'm just going to do it myself. If it's something worse, get an explination of what it is.

Two things:
1. MAJOR oil leaks really don't exist on these cars, do they? $4K to repair oil leaks? Sure, think case through bolts. But any rat residing in the crevice of anything resembling a Porsche shop has seen it before AND can relay such to the customer (owner, PPI recipient, man on the moon).
2. A compression test, labor-wise, in its most basic form is R&R rear wheels, two mufflers and six lower spark plugs. And disconnecting the ignition. Beyond that? Screwing the probe in X6, and cranking the car. If this process pays $300, sign me up as I'll do 4 a day and then hit the golf course............

Seller may/may not have known about the oil leak. You agreed to fork over 2 hours at $80/hr for a PPI. That was the deal you made and agreed to.
Be a man of honor and send the seller $160 via PayPal. Let he and the mechanic fight over the rest.

Oh, I never planned on not paying for the $160. It's just they're gonna expect more so I'm not giving my cc. So ya, let him take it out of my $2k deposit
