Granted the car only has under 45k miles but still. At that point you might as well put new plugs in, now you have a 1000 dollar plus job just to test the health of the engine. If you disagree let me know

It's a fairly straight forward job on these cars...
It's just the cost of doing business. For the serious sellers out there, paying for a good detail, compression test, leakdown, and PPI helps to sell the car.
Compare this to a dirty, unknown history, non-3rd party inspected car with potato photos taken from a cellphone, I can tell you which car would sell first, any day.
