Ummm
1) Every seller is different about test drives. Of course some do allow test drives, I do, with me in the car. I bought cars and never test drove them...why? Price was good, car did not run and owner did not allow it...not in any order..
2) I said before on this Forum I do not care about PPI's. I know more about 911's then the PPI inspector. Now compression checks and leak downs are good, but I generally take the cars overall condition over the engine. My rule, 1) body is number one 2) interior is next 3) the engine is last but most of my cars are before 1988, and I can fix engines not body.
3) Well depending on where you live, there are many options. If you buy the car, get the title of course with no lien on it. Check the VIN, then make arrangements to secure the car. Call the local Porsche dealer or any dealer...tell then you want the car stored at their place...do this in advance to make sure they will...then go home,..call a reliable car transport...to pick it up..no big deal...do it all the time...never buy a car, get title and then leave the car with the seller...when I buy out west there are places that store cars for a small fee until you pick them up...call a enclosed storage yard..
Lastly, I been at Hershey last five years, usually the good buys are rare...Porsche folk knows prices, I do the best with private owners wherever I find the cars. But most people are not car buyers and can never pull the trigger because of their uncertain ways...I have many friends that need a act of God to ever take a chance on buying a car...it's called buyers remorse...
