I'm going to look at a 560SEL on Monday that's being sold by an Indy MB repair shop that also sells cars. It's not a mechanics lien car. Several people have told me they do good MB work for reasonable prices so it looks like a reputable shop.

They're Bosch and ASE certified and, for what it's worth, are BBB and Chamber of Commerce members.

How would you handle getting a PPI in a situation like this? Or would you have an independent PPI done in a situation like this?

Do you actually ask to take it to another shop? This shop was actually on my short list of places to have another 560 I was interested in inspected.

It's right in line price and mileage-wise with the other two 560SEL's I've been looking at but it's Black w/Palamino interior which I prefer to colors of the other two. It's an `89 vs. the `88 and `86 I've been considering.

I'll need to find out more about it's history, of course, but I'm curious about how to handle the inspection.
