If a car was inspected by both a dealer and a mechanic, do I need a PPI?
I'm looking into buying a 2010 Toyota Rav4 (base model) with 165k on it. Dealer's asking $7800, with CA taxes, it'll likely be another $800 on top of that, plus registration. Car's been kept in California the whole time and has regular service.
A month prior, the car was inspected at a Toyota dealership, and then a week later it went to a mechanic where extensive work was done:
Fuel injection system flushed/serviced
Fuel injector(s) replaced
Spark plug(s) replaced
Valve cover gasket(s) replaced
Valve cover(s) replaced
The dealership is getting a lot of inquiries, and if I can show up with cash ASAP I can have it. But I'm hesitant to rush into this. I have a mobile mechanic who costs about $200, so I'm wondering if it's worth it. But that'll take time to get him there, and I may miss the sale? Or if I should just wait to find a cheaper car overall?
