When you had the PPI done - did they not drop the sump and inspect? From what I know, that's a pretty important piece of a PPI on these cars. Gotta make sure no metal in the sump or filter.....
What exactly did they do for the PPI?

Dropping the sump would mean an oil change which would add to the cost and be a freebie for the seller if you should decline the purchase for whatever reason. . You can inspect the pleats in the filter without draining the oil.

Good point and worth doing in a PPI. I doubt it would be standard procedure though.
