I'm getting the car checked today and for $200 not bad for a PPI

Just because a car may have been hit does not mean it is a bad car- as long as it was repaired properly and price takes collision into account.

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.

Hi folks
Anyone have recommendations on getting a ppi in or around Jamaica / Briarwood NY?
I'm looking at a 1 owner 996 and would love to get more info
Also does anyone here have any recommendations on how to pull a service history? I have the car fax and all the maintenance was done at 1 dealer, however I'm not getting much help on the records. Thnx
There are plenty of independent guys on LI. I would stay away from Manattan. Rick Deman is on the Northwest side of LI. Not ideal. Try one of these guys in this link.

Manhattan Motorsports is a Pcar dealer in NYC and there are plenty of Indys around who would care more about your needs in a PPI. Do a search on Manhattan Motorsports and you will find more critical reviews than satisfied ones.
Mtech motorsports. It's in New Rochelle right over the Whitestone or Throgs neck bridges. Ask for Mike. He is the owner. Are you looking at the C-4 cab in queens? Came close to buying it.
Robert
Thanks...I sent an email request to
http://www.mtechmotorsports.com/
and hopefully they are reasonable with a PPI. They are about 15 miles away from where the car is, so relatively close and I'd be willing to buy the car tomorrow if it all came out ok.
So the seller won't go to Mtech - just too far away (about 1 hour), but if I go to Formula the PPI goes from $200 to $400. I don't get how the same 2 hour PPI can cost twice as much from 1 place to another! Are there any other options people can recommend in/around Queens?
+1 for Bill Rudtner. He's a top notch guy, and the PCA driving instructor for our region. The guys in LIC are Formula Motorsports - great bodywork guys, but still know everything.

Thanks just spoke to Bill @ Rudtners, sounded like a great guy. So now I'm just going to leave it to the seller on whether they'd like to go to Rudtners or Formula Motorsports. Both offer the same service and Rudtner seemed more flexible on time, so that may work out better. BTW, the car is an 04 C4S coupe...
The first thing Bill will charge you for is an oil change. He did a PPI on a Speed Yellow Boxster I wanted. He opened the filter and found metal flakes. Best money I ever spent.
This is Michael @ Formula Motorsports. I am taking this opportunity to educate everyone on PPII's. I will attempt to stay within the parameters of cost, location, experience, and what to look for.
1. Cost- this will vary from 250-600 depending on where the car is located and many indy's will travel to the cars sight, and of course the experience level of the person looking at your car.
2. Location- using a well known shop to look at your car provides you with two weapons when negotiating purchase of car. One is the fact that the seller cannot dispute information provided by the PIWIS system of which only a select amount of independents have. And two they can provide market pricing for services that may need to be performed. This can be used as a great negotiation tool.
3. Experience- using a shop that also performs bodywork is a MUST. Only an experienced body man can tell the severity of a collision. Just because a car may have been hit does not mean it is a bad car- as long as it was repaired properly and price takes collision into account.
4. What to look for- Service records!!!!!! Primary use (track, country club?)
A PPI is probably the best money you will ever spend on a car. It is a big investment which warrants time and research. There are plenty of cars out there so try and not be too impulsive. And finally if the deal is too good to be true it most likely is.
Best
Michael
+1 on M Tech, Mike is good people... he has been servicing my cars for years now.
STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM RENNWERKE PORSCHE (in Elmsford) AS POSSIBLE! John aka "Cheech" Fernandez will purposely damage your car and probably steal your fancy air caps... general rude jerk and a thief.
