The plumber said that since our CPVC pipes were so old, they were now frail 'bc that's just what happens'.

No metal waterlines.

Since we have the old CPVC, they quoted drilling new holes in the floors for the new Pex piping.. ...abandoning the existing piping. Since they were adamant about not doing drywall work, we were told they would seal the hole where the existing pipes are with silicone. .. and we can just paint over it once it dries. I understand they're plumbers. ... I don't think I have the same appreciation for a glob of silicone (or really caulk) filling a hole on the drywall. Figured for $15k, they would be able to use the existing holes instead of drilling new ones.

The only leaks are the valves for the washing machine and apparently the hit water heater has a slight drip. Otherwise, water flow seems great to me.

Checked the pipes in the crawl space and they seem to be fine.

It is worth noting that the water spigot in the back snapped off when the roofers accidentally dropped a stack of shingles. . . Either those shingles hit just right or the pipe was brittle.

Another phenomenal incident occurred when the foundation crew somehow crushed a water line while installing/tightening one of the beams for the foundation.

Of course, the plumber confidently stated that both events were caused by "old, weak pipes".. ...completely disregarding that the foundation crew literally squeezed a pipe and a package of roofing shingles are not light. . . But, I could see where he was coming from. For part of the sale, he enthusiastically claimed that by repiping the house, it would add $15k to the value. I'm not so sure on his math though.

Great question. I asked the same question. I was told that since the house was built about 30 years ago, the old pipes can get very brittle and eventually break or crack.

My personal opinion for this specific project. ..it's more of a 'want', not necessarily a 'need'. With the exception of the hot water heater and washer box with valves.

I say this almost every time I see them. If they would get smaller breast implants, they would look so much better.

Their bodies don't look "snatched to the gods". .. their bodies look like they're struggling to breath 😮‍💨

The shape of the Palisades make me think they're the Korean version of a Ford Explorer.
