I vote for the impartial PPI. Why risk it. Hell for the cost of the PPI bring it to the Po's shop and also the other one suggested. Well worth the extra few hunge given the sale price.

Did I miss mention of the year? If it's a 95 its not a smoking deal, but still a very good deal. On the east coast I see them pop up from time to time at that price. If it's a 96-98 then its smoking.

go with RMG---Real Mean Garage or Robert M Grigsby Enterprises. 408-738-2060 www.realmeangarage.com. (no affiliationg, kickback, free lunch etc) I have trusted him for 25 yrs. Nothing would get past him and I would feel 100% comfortable that I was getting a good car. He turned down two cars recently that I was interested in. I live in Bend OR and he is in Sunnyvale CA. Go figure. I looked as you did on CL in the SFBA cause I knew I would have a great car if he gave it the go ahead.

Oshin 11, If the deal is off can you get me contact info for the car? I'm looking for a nice 6spd cab and 50k miles for $28-32k would be great. PM me if you want.

California cars usually come with a premium I think. And deal is over, the idiot who was supposed to buy my Carrera backed out because he claimed "it would cost too much to put the heater blower back in the engine bay". Yea 100 bucks is pretty damn steep I cant imagine why someone who loved a car would back out after it got rave reviews at a PPI but hey, what do I know, I'm just a sane person haha.
