PPI Question
#31
Okay thanks guys.
These are the first two things from carfax, does that answer anything on the in-service date?:
01/31/2002 Dealer Inventory Vehicle sold
02/04/2002 34 Georgia
Motor Vehicle Dept.
Fayetteville, GA
Title #7964020528112 Title issued or updated
Registration issued or renewed
First owner reported
Registered as
personal vehicle
Loan or lien reported
Registered as lease vehicle
Build date is 12/01.
Does this mean Porsche will cover parts and labor if it goes before one of these dates?

BTW, that "exhaust tip rattle" is exactly what a bad catalytic converter sounds like. This is not a cheap fix! I've had a dealer tell me the exhaust tip was the problem both times I heard this sound. They were both (thankfully) done under warranty for what would have been $1800 each.
I had my converters replaced under warranty. The symptom was the same - rattle from the exhaust system.

So I just spoke with Hans at Ruf. He quoted $500 for PPI w 100 pt inspection, compression, leakdown and ecu readout. Does that sound right? Seems high to me, but I could be wrong.
Also, I mentioned that Monroe Motorcars was getting the clutch, rms and brakes done. When I asked them that, they made it sound like they were doing the work. They apparently dont have service bays. They did say they would provide me with receipts and invoices for work and parts, so I'm a little confused. Going to try to figure that out now.

update: Theyre doing the work now on the car. Should be going to Ruf on Sat for a full PPI w ecu readout, class I and II overrevs, leakdown and compression. Anything im missing? Im going to have them double check the rms, brakes and clutch, as well as dbl check the rattle to see if it's the cat failing.
Im getting excited

I think you should still ask for a Rennfax. Someone can swing by to the shop work is being done on the car and see that the work is actually being done.
Edit: Also make sure you get an oil change.

If you called park place, I would guess a standard PPI is around $300 without leakdown.

An extra few hundred dollars for that piece of mind? I think its worth it. Plus the seller may find out that the car is going in for a "complete PPI" and that will deter them from playing cute.
