PPI

Pre-purchase inspection: Is anyone local to Wheeling, IL just outside of Chicago that could do a PPI on a car for me at Tasca Chevy? Would be a big help to get a lot of detail and would Venmo/Zelle.

700 W Dundee Rd, Wheeling, IL 60090

Looking for someone to go over the car, run through the gears, get an ear for any lifter noise, clutch feel, have a look under the car, take detailed photos and inspect the paint, etc.

OP be prepared for a big response. Who wouldn't want to go car shopping and not spend any money?!
But you may want to define PPI- some of us old timers don't know!
Also don't blame the messenger should you not prefer their feedback. O/W solid looking car in your photo's and if I were local I'd go have a look!

Pre purchase inspection.

Early millennials and older don't speak in acronyms like the rest of the mutants running around in the world.

Thank you guys I am a younger millennial for sure. Pre-purchase inspection. It’s a blue velvet car I appreciate any help so I don’t have to fly out there to find out it’s a smokers car or popping out of gear, etc.

What's the story? You are buying an additional car? Or you're buying a car because you sold your original and kinda regret it? Or maybe this one has options you low better?

I know exactly where that is at and lived close by for decades!!! Unfortunately, not the last decade and a half... Otherwise I would have been happy to help... But that is in my home area...

Bump for a volunteer- who's gonna take this opportunity to have fun? somebody has time to kill this weekend. Help a fellow Camaro lover out. Tell the used car salesman you're there to look at the car for an out of state buyer and they will roll out the red carpet (thinking this could lead to other quick and easy sales-lol).
Also, I was pretty sure he didn't mean Proton Pump Inhibiter, but I appreciate the definition explained. You youngun's have got your own secret language!

If it's worth anything, looks like Carvana sold it back in March with 36k miles for $32k

If you click on the photos there's a whole lot more photos there than on the current dealer. They even showed dents and scratches in those photos which I imagine are still there
