In my case as a joe layperson, I am happy to get a PPI and have been happy to get two PPI's done with the same indy repair shop. However the problem I have with your suggestion is:
1) Many shops wont let u in the repair area for insurance purposes.
2) Getting a busy seller to come down to indy shop can be a problem. The busy private seller trusted me to take the Boxster down to the indy shop by myself.The PPI showed the deficiencies and I got $2k off the asking price.
My aim on this thread is for the uninitiated to get guidance before buying a used car.
Buyer beware. I just hate to see people buy a car PDQ and then they are on these forums with a whole bunch of problems shortly after purchase.
