I bypassed a PPI on my Boxster... and my 911.. and my 914. Why? because I now a little bit about cars, what to look for, where the problems are and roughly what they cost to repair. If you lack this confidence, you might want a PPI. If the seller won't commit to one it could be:

1) He's offended
2) Never thought of the need for one on such a "new car"
3) Hiding something
4) Never heard of a PPI before

I've sold some cars with a PPI and some without. Bought some with and some without.

Life's a gamble. No one says something won't/can't be missed on a PPI that could still end up costing you money.

Nowadays, Porsche buyers search the web, research a car, and expect a seller to allow a PPI because of all the horror stories the web provides.

Do what makes you feel better. If that means a PPI and the seller is not agreeable, walk away.
