Even more so, why would a shop blindly quote a $1,600 PPI to someone without explaining all of this to the customer?

To their credit, they didn't blindly quote $1600. They explained why it would cost as much as it did and take 2 days. It's just that, to me, $1600 seems like an undoable amount of money. If I was buying a $45~$50k 993 from the early 90s, then this level of inspection would probably be called for. But, for a $16k Boxster....I don't know.
