Unless the car is coming with a full documented repair history, you really, really, really need a PPI on a Porsche with that kind of mileage.

I know its a PITA to coordinate and arrange, but get the inspection before you buy. It will be the best $300 you ever spend.

I'll see what I can do.

Seems rather difficult as we live in different states, and he's being gracious enough to drive it to Vegas from California for no charge.
