2020 Toyota Tundra — pPI found $1,800 of upcoming work

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. Meet at a bank or dealer title office for the 2020 Toyota Tundra, not a parking lot at night. I'd do that before spending real money. On “ppi found $1,800 of upcoming work,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

OP here. Still looking, but I'm waiting on inspection notes before I send money on the 2020 Toyota Tundra. If they only talk monthly I'm walking.

I'd treat this like cash with a paper trail. Meet at a bank or dealer title office for the 2020 Toyota Tundra, not a parking lot at night. That's where I'd start. On “ppi found $1,800 of upcoming work,” that was the fork that mattered for me. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. If the 2020 Toyota Tundra still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. That's where I'd start. Stop there until you know. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.
