    What kind of inspection does PPI cover? Will PPI inspect for re-paint?

    Different entities have different guidelines for what is and is not performed during a pre-purchase inspection. Some places even have multi-tier inspections from which you can choose. A $200 paint meter will allow you gauge whether or not a car has been repainted; if the car is not local to you, then you can request that service be included in the PPI. The two most important parts of a PPI are the compression and leakdown tests. Without the results of these two tests, the PPI is worthless.

    Does the leakdown test inspects if the engine has oil and water leak?

    I'm not sure - but that's a question best posed in the Technical Q&A forum.
