Autohouse West and the PPI from hell

Back when I was looking for a 986, I found one online (cars.com) at a SoCal dealer called auto house West (AHW).

This is 1. Why you should ALWAYS get a PPI, and 2. Why you should never shop from AHW AND discourage your friends and family from going there as well.

I found a car I was interested in:
2002 Porsche Boxster Base, $14,445 - Cars.com
Sorry the link is so large.

I current live 200+ miles away so I did a lot of my searching and deciding via phone. I found this car and called and asked many things but one thing specifically - If the car was at stock ride height (it does NOT appear so in the pictures, but it could've been a perspective thing). I was told explicitly that it was all stock, and that it was in good shape. So I had Hergesheimer Motorsports (the best SoCal 986 guys I know) do a PPI and get back to me. Mind you during this time I had put a small deposit down just to hold the car (about 1k) under the premise that it was stock and I was very interested in it. Needless to say I got my deposit back.

Check out this report and try not to die of laughter (or anger I guess):
