Just talked to Pfaff Porsche.
They don't do pre-purchase inspections.
They do "Multipoint Inspection" for $139. They don't examine the body. But it's the basics. Heating, Steering, Cooling, Exhaust.

I had two cars inspected at Mantis in Oakville including leakdown and compression testing. They caught many things including some dme irregularities on the first car which would have been a huge mistake to buy.

FWIW I had my PPI done at EU Autowerks two years ago and was satisfied with the checklist they provided, they confirmed what appeared to be a major oil leakage/seepage was just the spark plug tube seal, and they were right.
Since they did the PPI, they only charged me a small amount to write up the safety certificate when I decided to buy that car.
