More good points jcsomerv, if you are not buying from a dealer but can have a local Porsche dealer handle the PPI you may be able to request the dealership to act as an intermediary and if the seller agrees the dealership can hold the car until the transaction (wire transfer of funds) is complete. The car remains in their possession until you pick it up.

There are many tells that would tip you off if there was something amiss about a transaction. Keep in touch with the Pelican community they really are a good bunch of enthusiats willing to help out.

Enjoy your weekend,
