I haven't bought from him, but I nearly have. I had the opportunity to inspect the vehicle personally, and he offered to let a mechanic of my choice come and check it out at his warehouse. As mentioned though, in my specific situation, this wouldn't work.
Considering the price and obvious appearance of some of his inventory (projects of one form or another), I'm not sure what a detailed PPI would accomplish. The car I was interested in wasn't a project, so I think circumstances were different. All I was concerned with was whether the car (a 3.2 with 100k miles) needed a top end job, which it probably did based on the fact it was a 3.2 with 100k miles. I wanted a compression and leakdown test to confirm, but this wasn't possible for a mechanic to do at his facility (would have needed to be taken offsite). The car was well priced for a dealer if it needed a top end job, and even with the additional $5k-$8k had it needed top end rebuild, still would have been a fair price. I just wasn't looking to buy a car that needed an immediate $5k-$8k in work, and who knows, maybe this one didn't.
