Hi all,
I have done a search before posting but am still unclear - my apologies if subject has been done to death.
I know that PPI is a must and I know, thanks to the forum , the list of specialists that offer the service I am however not clear on what is the best way to proceed.
Let's assume that the car in question is sold by a trader, a sports cars specialist that only do sales and do not have a workshop.
Do you:
a/ test drive the car, negotiate a price, put a deposit down on the condition that a PPi is performed and that any fault may lead to a renegotiation of the price
b/ perform the PPI and negotiate on the basis of the PPI result
c/ other?
What i am struggling with is that, in any scenario, if as a prospective buyer I am proceeding with a PPi then a decent salesman would know I am committed and would therefore have no reason to negotiate ?
last question: is it the car travelling to the expert or is the expert performing the PPI travelling to the sales point ? if the latter, how do you manage my scenario (a sales outlet that has no workshop/ramp)?
Thanks for your advice !
