Thanks, Pedro. Very valuable answers for me!

From reading your site that you linked, I am thinking you steer clear of giving opinions of value of the car versus the price and just report what you see about the car?

I bought my Boxster from a Subaru dealer that acquired it on a trade in. They claimed to have done a pre-inspection and gave me paper work detailing what they did. Unfortunately it is in the car so I can't refer back to the document at the moment to see what exactly they inspected. About a week after I bought the car I took it to the Porsche dealer for 75k maintenance. I find it odd that neither the Subaru dealer or the Porsche dealer discovered the damage from a rodent infestation. The current mechanic said you wouldn't see the damage unless you had some reason be checking things on the top side of the engine or actually pulled the engine. I guess that makes sense. I presume an independent PPI would have likely caught such an issue?
