A PPI is usually done

by the seller delivering the car to the buyer's choice of shops, the buyer paying for the PPI and both parties receiving the results in separate discussions with the mechanic.

That way the information about the car is symmetrical, both parties know the same things and no one suspects collusion between the buyer and the mechanic. It enables a fair re-negotiation on price if something unknown is discovered.

And the PPI should be done after negotiation of a price on a "if nothing more found, I'll buy at this price" basis. Because if you can't at least reach that agreement, you don't want to pay for a PPI (~$250).

Wonderful cars, the '97s are prone to many of the same problems other years have...no cars are ever perfect.
