2019 Porsche Macan — what should a real pre-purchase inspection include?

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: A written buyer’s order on the 2019 Porsche Macan is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. On “what should a real pre-purchase inspection include,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. Two 2019 Porsche Macan quotes only help if both include tax, title, and the same options. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. This is from a 2019 Porsche Macan in New Jersey with 67,000 miles. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. A written buyer’s order on the 2019 Porsche Macan is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. Was this after sitting overnight? Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2019 Porsche Macan and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.
