This is utter nonsense. How would you like to skip the PPI and find metal filings in your oil filter at the first oil change? You may as well write the car off after that.
Or discover that you need new timing chain tensioners because the camshaft deviations are out of spec? Hope your credit card limit is high.
Not trying to be an alarmist, but knowledge is power. Know what you're getting into BEFORE you buy.

Completely agreed. I have no issue maying $200 to have a car completely checked by a reputable shop if I have a deal in place and really want the car.
