My wife wants a different car, so we have been looking at a lot of ads - both here, and on other websites. Anyhow, a question came up that I want to pose here for comment. (Maybe nobody should reply to this out of respect to fellow Pelican Porsche enthusiasts.)
You never want to buy a car site-unseen, but sometimes geography and work schedules really make it impractical to see your potential purchase first hand.
Do you guys (and gals) in the Pelican community trust one another to the point you would buy a Pelicans car site unseen?
If not, do you have another Pelican go and do a PPI for you? And since you didn't trust the Pelican seller, why do you trust the Pelican PPIer?
Or is the PPI not about trust, but more about having a second set of eyes to look the car over? Still, why do you trust that second set of eyes? Is the PPIer a mechanic... or an accountant?
etc. etc.
...and then there is eBay - where you may need a second, third, and forth opinion, but only have a few auction days in which to get'er done.
