I think you absolutely did the right thing... I want a PPI when I am giving someone $50k of my money! There are always other cars out there... you will find one.

geez... the deal just fell through... the original inspection was via his 20K service. I wanted a DME scan, but he said it was too much hassle, that a buyer was willing to pay him all cash, no questions asked...
r u serious? in the world we live in today, it's only prudent to ask questions... for a $50,000 car, a buyer should have the right to ask for details... especially the DME... wtf?
it also sucks because i already requested bank draft in his name address and paid $25 extra to overnight fedex it to me and paid an $29.95 for a carfax last night... i know it's only $55, but it's that and a waste of my friggin time...

On the flip side, I can't blame the guy for selling it to someone else with cash and no questions asked. I was in a similar selling situation many years ago. One buyer wanted to take the car to a mechanic for an inspection, the very next day a different buyer came with cash in hand. Guess who I sold the car to?

i've given it some thought, and oh well... i understand the points made. if i were selling a car and someone dropped cash in front of me no questions asked, i'd take it too... i'll just be patient. who knows, if i wait a bit longer, i might find myself in a 997.2!!!
one side benefit of all the searches is that i've been on a lot of free drives!!! most owners don't mind at all if you let it out in 3rd and 4th... dealers are even better... i have to say most porsche owners are extremely friendly and inviting... dealers are great because you get a chance to drive a non-s and an s back to back to really feel the difference...
