I'm guessing that he's looking for a 'steal' regarding his purchase price, but I don't know what that is.

swiss motors was a suggested PPI shop and marcel the owner seemed extremely knowledgable.

with all the money i'm making flipping cars, i decided to skip the PPI and just wing it. hope i make the drive home to seattle.

Good luck on the drive home. Be sure to get the Russian fellow's phone number in case he forgets to mail you the title;-)

hahahaha - so i had the PPI done today at swiss - several issues - cracked tires/leaky pvc valve/leaking spark plug tubes/front hood repair and more.

good news was the oil filter had no metal particulants and no intermix in oil or coolant.

grinded a bit but in the end it wasn't going to work out - passed on the car but gave the PPI report to the seller because he went out of his way to drive the car 40 minutes to swiss and wait 2 hours while they did the inspection.

i'm going to relax and wait for the right car.
