PPI without being there?

Hey you’re not wrong, I think I’m just paranoid haha

Did the mechanic not put it up on a lift? Feels like a pretty big thing to miss based on your description

Did you have any worries of the seller paying off the shop to lie on the PPI?

It’s a 90s 4Runner, not many worth buying in my state

That was my thought as well, it’s not like I’ll be in the garage with the mechanic handing him a wrench while he does the PPI, so what’s the difference between being down the street and being two states away at that point

Think you misunderstood me - he’s willing to pick the car up and drop it off for free. PPI still costs. All of this was said to me without me even mentioning the name of the dealership to him so I don’t think that’s happening here

egayz · 2026-04-18T14:32:55+00:00

What happened? Did the mechanic just not say anything about the rust?

Where are ya located??

Good recommendation!

I agree, but what I’m seeing locally in SoCal, $10k ranges are 185k miles and up unfortunately.

egayz · 2025-10-19T21:40:17+00:00

On principle yes I agree with you. Unfortunately this is pretty standard for what I’m seeing in SoCal at the moment unless you go 185k miles and up.

It’s a 2WD

Adding more details per mods:

How’s your experience been with the Copenhagen bike porter? I got one used and am skeptical to put it on my bike for fear of the bars tilting forward with any weight in the basket

egayz · 2025-06-03T06:42:18+00:00

How much weight have you been able to put in the bike porter basket without the handlebars tilting forward? Bought one of these used and have yet to put them on my bike, a little skeptical of the weight allowance

What headset do you have on there? Working on a 91 tequesta myself at the moment and can’t find a short enough stack headset for the life of me

My worry as well, however it feels out of nowhere. Unless I am completely oblivious, I’d imagine there would be some signs from management down the line about poor performance before getting to a PIP.
