The point of a PPI is so that you have someone not emotionally involved to give you an unbiased report of the general condition of the car. No, its not perfect but its definitely worth it due to the potentially high cost of Porsche repairs.
Very few people sell a car right after they spent $2,000 fixing every known problem - most will do the major stuff but many minor issues almost always remain unresolved. Like maybe a seeping water pump that will soon start to leak/drip or an AOS that fails the oil cap suction test or a slightly grinding wheel bearing or a leaky cam cover gasket - things that a qualified Porsche mechanic will catch that the average buyer may not.
So, do you want to know what needs to be fixed before or after you buy it?
