I can see the conflict here even if you do not. In fact I talked to a shop yesterday that has worked on my Boxster (which is for sale). The owner told me 800 to do the PPI but he immediately told me 2 things, the buyer usually gets the PPI (even though I said I would pay part) and that since they have worked on the car before that they should be disqualified from doing the PPI.

I said well that's bs in my book because I know they would be honest but I also found out that prices for PPI's have gone way up. I looked at a Cayenne and asked about a PPI at another shop agreeable to the seller and they quoted me 900. This for a 10K car. After paying for CA registration I would be buried.

I think I'm just going to start buying junkers when I need another car. I hope the '96 Jag makes it through one more smog because that's the death nell for that.
