PPI - view from the other side!
Can there be a more humbling experience than sitting through a pre-purchase inspection of your car with a potential buyer, especially a car you've neglected the past 6 months? Sitting there listening as a professional runs down every single flaw? I feel like I've been caught on tape kicking a puppy...

Lesson = don't neglect. It is like a marriage, the more neglect you do, the more it costs you in the divorce!

Don't feel bad. I just went through this trying to sell a house. The home inspector wrote up a myriad of things (all the way down to a burned-out light bulb) that I had no idea of. Sheesh...

A friend is selling a car and had a guy give him a hard time about a few imperfection in the body. He simply said, 'buy a new one'. These are used cars guys.
Good luck with the sale! |

Did the buyer buy your Targa? Was he willing to pay your asking price or was he a Persian Rug shopper?
Who did the PPI? Sorry to hear that you are getting rid of your collection. |
True. except that I really don't care if the antenna works or not(up/down). I don't care if the AC works because its extra weight. There are bunch of things that I don't care about except the engine/tranny and other mechanicals.
Sure a prospective buyer might want these issues pointed out but no biggie. |
For what you were asking for that Targa... the PPI should have been to see that it had an engine, trans and a couple of wheels (and that it currently was not on fire).
Don't sweat it... :) -Bernie |
The PPI was done by a shop called E&J - they work on the buyer's 356B. I've never heard of them, but they're only a few blocks away near Irving Park and Western. The service manager was a nice guy, and of the opinion that the SC/Carrera are the pinnacle of Porsche engineering. I had to leave before the PPI was done, but unless they discover the floorpan is made of papier mache, the car's sold - we agreed to meet again at 5pm. There was no haggling, and the seller is definitely of the opinion that at my price, you can't go wrong.
