    I've been reading some threads and found out that before you purchase a USED Ferrari, better get a PPI. Sine am really new here I have no idea what a PPI is. Is it like a VMI (Vehicle Master Inquiry) for Mercedes Benz?

    Get it looked over for mechanical, paint, or collision damage, prior to purchase. Identify problems before buying the car.

    That's a freight cost reference......it's either FOB Factory (you pay from the loading dock), or



    FoB (Address) the jobsite in my case, when I buy supplies for the project, FOB JOBSITE means the seller pays to get it to MY door.

    Key "fob" is a word....this thread is titled abbreviations.....the reason for my answer.

    I thuoght he might have been looking at a sale quote for a car......FOB Seller vs. FOB BUYER...
