Default PPI near Dallas

I am in negotiations to buy a LC 500 convertible in Frisco, TX. For peace of mind I would like to get an opinion of someone to look at the car for door dings, scratches and such. They haven't even got pictures online yet for me to evaluate. https://www.mcdavidhondafrisco.com/u...6aa749981c.htm Can anyone recommend someone to do a pre purchase inspection. It's at a dealership so access should be simple. It's in warranty, so mechanicals shouldn't need to be checked, Any input would be appreciated.

I highly doubt a mechanic is going to go look at a car onlY to verify it’s paint condition.

Best bet is asking someone from this forum to go check out the car for you if they live in Frisco, which is a DFW superb…then send them $100 gift card to a restaurant in their city.

The obvious question is: Why won’t the dealer take a bunch of pics for you….

I am no paint expert and certainly no mechanic. I do, however, live in a suburb adjacent to Frisco and would be happy to look at the car for you and take some pics. I don't know that what I would do would be considered a pre-purchase inspection, but I can give you my opinion on the condition of the paint and body.

Thanks for the offer, we did hire a PPI company to do the inspection. They have all the tools needed and for $285 it's cheap insurance.

How firm are you on the flare yellow? I have a dark blue '21 convertible for sale in Denver, short drive home through the mountains for you guys. 1/3rd the miles (under 7K) for $92K ($3K less). The whole car has paint protection film / ceramic coat, garage kept with no door dings.

Thanks for the offer, but Yellow is very firm. Plus we only paid 90k. Good luck with your sale and your new car coming soon.
