Favor to ask of Dallas gang...

One of my co-workers has been hunting for a used Boxster S for some time and found a possible candidate in Dallas. Would anyone here consider taking an objective look at it for her?

Bastards!

Actually, I think I've talked her into shelling out for PPI from a reputable independent or dealer down there.

I'd help, but Dallas is a long drive from NY.

It's Nate and Bonoboy in Dallas, right?

You could just help him determine if it's worth the money for the ppi.

Note to Archer: BBoy's not a good candidate for this.

I don't blame any of you. I know jack-shit about P-cars and anything beyond, "Yeah, it's clean" is pretty much useless coming from me.

She's much better off getting a qualified PPI, anyway. It doesn't take lot of effort to make a moneypit look golden on the selling block. Although I must admit to hoping she finds a nice one. I know I'll get to drive it at least once.

But thanks anyway, f'ckers. D:
