Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I talked to that guy for an hour after I test drove.
Leading evidence: 'Test drove' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test drove' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Gents,
Well, I soon may be joining the Rennlist group officially. I'm a paying member without a ride at the moment.
I have a 03 911 6spd coupe in for a PPI as I type. The car is silver with Metropol blue leather.
The car is loaded with all of my favorite options.
Sport desgin wheels
Sport exhaust
Supple leatehr seats
bose
xenon headlights
PSM
lumbar support seats and a few other options.
Just under $17k in factory options.
Hopefully I'll have good news to report and pics to show shortly.
Sounds nice. I assume this is the car for sale by owner, with the freshly painted hood? If so, I drove that one. Very nice, and with a CPO. Good luck with it. I have mine now, so we can meet up at Lantana one day.
Best,
Sounds good Todd. yeah, the owner said his kids bike scratched the hood.
Did you get the same story? Did you see it before or after the scratch?
Hopefully will meet at Lantana soon.
Jim
Hey Jim,
Yes, same story. The scratch was surface level, not a big deal, but noticable in the light. I talked to that guy for an hour after I test drove. Seemed like a descent honest guy - a guy I would have felt comfortable buying a car from. He was having the scratch repaired at the most expensive body shop in the area.
When I looked at that car, I still wanted a convertible at that point, so given the increased cost for an 03 and the fact that it was a convertible, I didn't pursue further.
Car seemed in great shape to me and a good value.
Thanks Todd,
Yeah, the place he took the car to only handles the high end exotic or luxury cars.
If it's not an s-class, 7 series, ferrari etc, you won't see it there.
He does seem like a really nice honest guy. I'll let you know what the PPI uncovers, if anything. I really contemplated not getting a PPI (since the car is CPO'd) but I just didn't want to leave much to chance.
Thanks,
Jim
The PPI is still a good idea. If anything mechanical is wrong, then it is covered under CPO.
The only thing they can probably tell you to blow up the deal is that the frame is twisted, or the car has been tracked heavily, or something like that.
Little likelihood of that, and if they do say that, then it was worth the PPI $$.
I guess I will be seeing a lot of that freshly painted hood in my rearview mirror!! (lol, time for some trash talkin'!)
No worries. I was charged $237 for the PPI but it does not include a compression/leak down test. The car is CPO'd so if that was an issue it's going back to the dealer.
I would not worry too much about the PPI, but agree that it can't hurt to know more about the car. How much are they asking for the car? I missed it in your post.
