For a PPI I don't think you need someone of his caliber.

Tony Callas and I work together instructing classes, and yes, in most every class there are dealer techs.. Sometimes with an alias, sometimes not.
The list of what Callas inspects for is mind blowing, the car is invasively inspected and it takes at least two days.
It could be worse, my version of a PPI is 1,950.00 but is mostly engine specific, though I also pull most of the car apart looking for damage and cover- ups as well. I do these personally, and they often take me a week.
To properly carry out an invasive PPI takes a lot of time. You won't buy anything really worth a damn for 400.00. Just ask the guy that had his 996 inspected at a mid west Porsche dealer and then had the engine fail 300 miles from home while he was driving the car back. The car never even made it home, it was shipped from where it dropped directly to me, where he then expended another 20K for my reconstructed engine.
He told me that my PPI would have been with 5K to him....
