PPI in Chicago, Where do I go ?

Give Brad a call at Euroquipe.

They serviced my 348 for the previous owner and did a PPI and leakdown/compression test for me prior to my purchase. I was very pleased with them.

I bought my Saldana radiator at euroquipe and it was a pleasant satisfactory experience but never did a PPI

 

Hey david. Can you tell us bout how much one of them there PPI cost giver take? I should have done that before I bought my 355 but, Ima do it now called PPI(post purchase inspection) and cross my fingers!

 

Good luck, Errico, I hope it works out and we can soon welcome you to the Brotherhood.

 

Sent you a PM.

Cost varies on what you have them do.... some places are reluctant to do it anymore as buyers are using it as a negotiating tool. (which i think is applicable)

I talked with Richard at Competizione about it... he feels some shops don't want the liability if the car blows up after they do a PPI.

I personally wouldn't hold the shop accountable for issues, but I sure as heck want to know what I'm getting myself into before a purchase like a Ferrari. and yes I know nothing is guaranteed and they can miss things... but it gives you a bit of a baseline.

Sorry to my attorney brethern... fear of litigation has caused a lot of the reluctance.

When/If I ever decide to sell mine, I'd almost require the buyer do a PPI and sign my attorney's recommended bill of sale

my 2 cents plus the Ferrari tax


Edit: Also -- I had them pull some oil from the gear box and engine and send to http://www.blackstone-labs.com/ for oil analysis. FatBillyBob recommended this and it does tell you a fair amount about the oil -- unless they just changed it.

 

So how did the ppi go?

He bought the car and it was apparently in absolute mint condition. Perhaps he will chime back in and post but I am supposed to see the car in person soon and I can't wait!
