Is this possible? PPI failed??

They better hope that doesn't get out too far.....

 

Sounds like BS to me.

 

Ditto.

 

Could be a misunderstanding, the car probably passed the (PPI) Pre Purchase Inspection but then failed the (PPI) Post Purchase Inspection, or maybe not.

 

Wondering what motivated this hit and run. Popping the corn and melting the butter now.

 

If it is true, Brian would have a hard time explaining it. I doubt the veracity of the claim.
Brain Crall (Rifledriver) seems to harp on honesty and doing services at factory recommended intervals. If he did a 5 figure service 150 miles prior, what could realistically have happened that would make the car fail a PPI miserably? A wreck is possible, track abuse is possible, and really abusive street driving are possible. There needs to be more facts to discuss this with any meaningful outcome.

I would have had then run through the PPI again to confirm whatever the faults were. If the company that performed the work did the PPi, wouldn't they be on the hook to fix whatever faults there were?

 

What about the other part of the equation. Maybe the owner didn't have Brian perform all the repairs that were recommended or some variation thereof. Or, maybe Brian was asked to perform an engine service and the problems found during the PPI concerned the front suspension or frame damage. There are 8 billion variations. It just seems to me the OP in the other thread had an agenda based on his original post.

 

I didn't see why the PPI failed? It could be something like a missing vin plate, that a major service has nothing to do with.

 

What's going on here??????

Brian is a valued member here.
Someone better get busy or this thread is going to explode.

You mean -- everything posted on the Internet is not -- REAL????

It's on an Internet forum, so it must be true!!! haha.

Sounds like total BS to me. Maybe Brian did do some work on the car, who knows. But maybe when it came time for a PPI it failed. Also, the fact that the person on the other thread can't spell worth a damn says a lot...

I'm sure Brian will be along to comment. Even if he isn't, we all know him here and the level of service and information he provides. The post on the other forum sounds pretty off the wall to me.

On the surface it looks like Brian failed his own work. Nice! Some splain' to do with that

 

Sometimes things ain't always what people try to make them seem brother. A lot can be going on behind the scenes and you don't even know it. I know this is hard for you to believe, but yes, sometimes things on the Internet are not true.

Myself, I always tend to be more suspicious of the messenger than the message in cases like these...

On the surface it sounds like some BS to me. They only shoot at you when you are on top...

Brian did a PPI on my car before I purchased it a few years ago and he was right on the money. There has to be more to this story. I'm going to call 'BS' on this one.

 

We do not perform pre purchase inspections.

Your chains are bing jerked.

Imagine that. Someone is lying on the internet.

And besides that BFD. I can think of a number of cars I have performed majors on that I would still fail in a PPI. The fact that I or anyone else has ever touched a car does not make it a good car or one that would bass a PPI. I did quite a bit of work on a car At Specialty right now, a 456 whose frame is twisted in a knot that I warned an entire thread about. Just because someone gave me some money once does not buy silence.

So where is the beef?

Besides, that entire website looks like a bunch of children. WTF cares?

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The foundation of my world has just collapsed. Say this isn't so! Where will I turn for my information if but not to the rest of the people in the world who are posting namelessly behind their keyboards on the great and all knowledgeable Internet???

This can't be happening... not today...

Sounds like total BS. I personally know at least ten people that swear by the quality of Brian's work.

 

I think you're reversing the assertions. The thread claims that Brian did the PPI (which he has said for a few years on here that he stopped doing PPIs) and some unknown did the major service for 5-figures (which we all know doesn't mean the job got done right). Further, there's no itemization of the PPI items and whether they're the same as the 5-figure repair job. You can easily spend 5-figures on transmission work alone and fail due to engine, brake, suspension, alignment, etc.

 

Well there you go.

 

"I can think of a number of cars I have performed majors on that I would still fail in a PPI. The fact that I or anyone else has ever touched a car does not make it a good car or one that would pass a PPI."


A very important point IMO.

 

LMAO! Who indeed.
