Thanks for all the replies.
I didn't win the auction, even though it went for a very good price.
I had gotten as much additional info from seller, including extra photos and engine / drive videos.
There simply wasn't time for me to find someone to do a PPI in FL before the auction ended.
I knew it was still a risk (South FL near a swamp) but It was the car I wanted.
I'll try again.
To answer some of various peoples questions;
I know PPI stands for "pre". It was tongue in cheek, given my situation.
As to reasonable prices and availability, that was regarding finding a long term service / upgrade guy to work on the car.
I am familiar by name and rep, many of the garages you all have listed, but many are also what I am, at least, 'hoping' to avoid. I know places like TRE and Callas are top notch. But they're expensive and hard to get into (gotta get in line behind "Jerry") ;-). Dutch sounds great. (and perfect location for me) So when I do land a car, they will be high on the list, but I'll check the others as well.
Thanks again to everyone.
