Hi all, first post for me. I've been reading through all the PPI threads but I'm still a little confused.
If I decide to buy my 996 C4S that I'm currently looking for, from one of the well respected Independent dealers, I understand that most people still recommend getting an independent PPI done. But isn't it the Independent dealers that you'd go to to get a PPI done!? For example, if I were to see a car at a dealer in Birmingham for arguments sake, I would then need to get another local Independent to do an inspection on it?? As there aren't that many Independents about, how would this work? If I buy Privately it makes things easier to understand, as I'd just go to the local Indy. Am I being a bit thick, or is this confusing!?
As someone stated in another thread, the Indy dealers buy their cars from private sellers mainly, so they probably get a PPI done for themselves, but I guess they just do this themselves. I'm sure the dealer will tell me that they will inspect the car themselves prior to me buying, but can I trust them?
I've looked into PPI's and Peter Morgan seems to be favoured, but he doesn't do the bore-score check so that's not much use on this particular car!
Phil :?
