Any helpful thoughts? Seller is firm 37K for this car. Its 7H from my place.How does pre sale inspection works? I would like to have one done in this car. I will have the PPI done first before I fly over there or do i tell the seller just to bring his car there and dealer will email or call me with report. Thanks for the input.

Fly for a ppi? Maybe look up reputable shops in that area and schedule a check to be done that day. And buy if it flies, or just fly back if it fails.

^ This. Buy a refundable ticket for at least your return trip, or for the whole trip if separate one-way tickets are more than a round trip itinerary (they usually are). Or you could just ask the seller to send you the work report from a PPI performed by a reputable shop there before you even book your flight. True there's a little more risk of fraud that way, but if you feel ok about the seller upon arrival it's probably fine to have done that -- and if you don't feel ok about the seller, then you probably shouldn't buy from that person even if you get the PPI done on your own.
