Stick with the original plan.

Since the seller has been willing to adjust the price, I'd follow through with the remainder of the PPI. Now is not the time to throw caution to the wind and go on faith - you need to know about the CAT's, CEL, and whatever else might still be an issue.

Once you have a full PPI, then you'll know exactly what at you're getting into and, if you want to buy the car, you can determine a price that you are comfortable paying for that car in that condition.

Sure the seller says that he's "firm" at the new price - but no one knows what else the rest of the PPI might discover. Get that data and then if the seller won't come close to your price, then walk away and find another car.
