The fact that the PPI caught the bad window regulator paid for itself with just that repair. If you have a copy of the report, you can use it to help QC the next car until you find your true love, I mean car. Happy hunting.

13 years old and original tires bought one last month

Bought a 2003 Boxster last month with 19k and original tires still on it and tread looked good for another 20k. After post PPI walk through with shop owner. He pointed out tire manufacture date was 2002. Tires were 14 yrs from birth and 13 from sale date. On much closer look I could see cracks and dry rotting.

I would definitely change all tires as soon as possible. Like before the next time you drove it, except while nursing the Box to the tire shop.

Just sayin'.....
