1997 Boxster from private seller or 1999 Boxster from a dealership?

I truly dont always agree with a PPI, all the issues I have had with my car would not have been caught by a PPI (alarm, flywheel wear, IMS bearing going south) you can educate yourself enough to perform your own PPI for the normal problem areas.

A PPI probably would have caught these issues though that I overlooked-
missing air deflectors in front of the front tires and the broken fuel door actuator (but the PO did point that one out to me)

A lot depends on the knowledge of the buyer. In my
case I had little knowledge of the Boxster and the PPI caught leak in RMS and CV joint leak. So $200 spent on the PPI to catch at least $3000 of potential repairs was $$$ well spent to negotiate a better price. Each one to their own.
