Hello everyone,
As business moves forward with Oliden Group, I would like to check on whether there is any interest on developing a PPI network across the USA. In the six years that I have been on Peachparts I have met many exceptional individuals, and would like this wonderful community to form part of my business, if willing.

What's a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) network?
Simple. Most mechanics are NOT mobile, or familiar with the peculiarities/rust nooks of old Mercedes. When a car is advertised anywhere in the USA and need someone to look at it, I require a fast response and a knowledgeable visual inspection.

What am I expected to do?
—Look at chosen local cars, test drive (if possible), take pictures, follow a simple item check-list and take notes. Just as you would if you were to buy the car for yourself.
—If it checks like a good car, collect and send bill of sale, note down seller's info and hand in deposit.

What are the requirements?
—A minimum degree of seniority in the PeachParts community.
—A minimum familiarity with mechanical components (duh!)
—Schedule with enough free time to check out a car, should one arise.
—An absolute degree of trust, integrity and professionalism.
—A vehicle that won't dry your wallet (+22MPG).
—A camera/Smartphone that can take pictures.
—The ability to upload and send pictures and pdf's via email.
—A Whatsapp number (easy to get, it's a free phone app).
—A Paypal account.
—A Skype account is nice but not mandatory.

Compensation
Transportation costs are paid in advance, PPI compensation is paid after the PPI report is handed in. We can negotiate speficic PPI cost one-to-one. All is done through Paypal, unless you feel utterly uncomfortable and prefer other method.

My mailbox is approaching maximum capacity, so please send me an email instead. My address is olidengroup (at) gmail (dot) com.

I hope many of you join me in this entrepreneurial adventure!

MODERATORS: if this post violates PeachPart's rules, please delete it or move it to a relevant location. I am aware it's a little bit unusual, so I apologize in advance.
