Anywhere...expect to pay between $200-300. Regardless of location, anymore than that is robbery.

Actually - what does everyone think of a sticky thread where people list where they got a PPI done, how much it cost and whether they recommend the place?

...as far as things that are helpful for people shopping for a 996 I can't think of anything that would be more useful. Given that people (like me) are often looking at buying a car in places thousands of miles away it would be pretty handy to have a list of where Rennlist members recommend getting inspections in various cities...

How did you do that? If your reply got there any faster I think it would've predated the question.

Thanks - $200-300 is about what I would've expected but I wasn't sure if prices varied around the country.

I paid just under $200 in Conn. when I did my PPI, and it was very thorough.

I had mine done at Champion near Ft Lauderdale for $165, but I was not overly impressed.

be careful on the pricing b/c I think there are two different versions of PPI's. The one closer to 300$ is more thorough. Just double check with your particular dealership.
