If Scan is doing a real PPI today, why bother with a drive-by cosmetic inspection by someone tomorrow? Besides, Repo companies don't like strangers lurking on their property.

Scan will give a written report including paint, dents etc. and certainly the mechanical stuff.
Make sure to ask for a written leak-down test with numbers, not just saying: It's good. Leak-down test is more important than compression test!

If all is acceptable, have someone take pictures before shipping so there is no dispute about condition when it arrives. One never knows what happens during shipping.
