I'd appreciate your thoughts on this PPI report

as much for the shop's liability while in possession of the car as anything.

Just top it up and go for a spin, eh ?

Have you got a link to the coupe for sale ?

Thanks

A mechanic knows how to test the brakes on the car. That's his job.

As someone else mentioned, if the shop sees a safety issue, they kill the PPI right then and there. This PPI has enough detail that I'm going to trust that they are proficient at their job.

It's not listed for sale, yet. There's a WTT listing but it is sparse. The car is $40k. There's a thread here on the first page discussing the car.

$30K should buy you a decent running driver.

This car is at least a few thousand from being that, mainly the brakes, suspension need work and engine a "tune up".

Did you miss the part about the leaking reservoir ?
