xmaciek82x, I agree with rmc... I would prefer to choose my own shop to do the ppi. Have they told you where they would take it? Perhaps you could do a little research on where they plan to have it done.
USP is about 35 miles or so from that dealer (they may not be willing to go that far though), I have heard nothing but good things about them. Perhaps someone else will chime in with a good shop in the area.
Good luck!!
Even when I had my car PPI'ed by Brumos, I had to specify that it include a DME scan. It wasn't considered part of the normal PPI which surprised me. It didn't bear and additional charge but that's way more important to me than the fact that my rear wiper was missing the cap. Something to consider wherever you get it done. I agree though, that I'd prefer to pay for it myself and send it to my "own" shop.
Yes, I agree... dme scan should be on the ppi check list. You definitely need to ask what exactly the shop includes in their ppi. It varies quite a bit. Besides just looking at the car overall a good ppi will include diagnostic scan, checking the car underneath as well, driving car, making sure everything works properly from radio to power seat switches etc, etc, paint meter, list goes on. Also, If there are specific things you want them to look for you can tell them that as well.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think I'll try to buy it after a good ppi. I just contacted the dealer and they told me the ppi would be done at Stahl Motorsports. Danny at Stahl has a very good rep in the Porsche community so I'm not too worried about not getting a thorough ppi report.
Sorry for derailing the thread.
