This internet myth that you can't trust the shop who built the car is rubbish. You can't trust crooks. Mike was a man of honor, and now that he's passed and Warren runs the place he runs it the same way.

Thanks Matt, that's good to hear. After spending some time on the phone with Mike's widow, MC, and Warren, I was reassured. I did, however, decide to go ahead with the PPI because the seller has had it for about five years now. Warren promised he'd do an unbiased PPI.
I may be crazy, but I'm planning to buy it sight unseen. I'm going overseas for two weeks in a couple days and just don't have the time.
I have to say, the way MC talks about her memories of Mike with such love in her voice is extremely moving. He briefly owned this car and it was bringing back memories for her. She clearly adored him. I didn't expect that moment of humanity when calling a mechanic shop, but the Porsche world continues to surprise me.
