I've always heard, "A fool and his money are soon departed". This can be very true with buying Porsche cars. When you rap high demand and brand attractiveness in the equation, many people get burned.

I understand some sellers don't want to bother with scheduling a PPI, but high demand for these cars should never cloud one's due diligence. Jake Raby and I have been planning a "buyer's guide" for M9X based Porsche cars. This would be the alternative to paying for a PPI in cases (e.g. auctions) where it's not possible. If we can establish there is enough demand for such a video, then it will happen.
