I have little faith in a PPI, even from BMW. My current X5 was "inspected" but they missed the leaking vacuum pump, leaking power steering hoses, folding mirrors which unfolded by themselves, missing cup holder tabs and defective CD changer. I'm open to a recommended shop, but would trust an competent E70 owner more.

Indiana is one of those suck ass states that doesnt do reciprocity with all 49, if I recall. While most all states you would pay 7% for IN and get credit in your home state, not sure about IN to NC purchases
If you buy PRIVATELY you pay no tax. But if it is a CAR DEALER. the dealer is REQUIRED to collect tax, you are SOL.
Still, for the cost if a $300 plane ticket you'd risk buying a lemon? Even if they do ship it back to you?
Anyway, look at wildts car..and/or take him up on the driveby AND the indy PPI.
