I've always done some sort of PPI on every vehicle I've bought... except one. And that one was the one that ended up being a total money pit. After that I even get PPIs on $1500 motorcycles. To me it's just always worth it. If the seller balks, I move on. No vehicle is unique.
The boxster was a little different as it needed it's 60k service soon, so rather than doing a PPI, I just had the 60k service done and split the cost with the seller. We agreed ahead of time that if anything was found wrong we would renegotiate the price and/or he would pay for the whole service less $200 if we couldn't come to terms. Lots of trust on that deal, but it turned out OK.
