ppi = pre purchase inspection. take it to a porsche dealership and have them check everything out. They will charge about $300 and test things that you cant ie leak down and compression

RMS = rear main seal. Its a seal where the engine and transmission meet, it leaks....ALOT. Look under the car and see if there is oil in this area, if there is, you will probably need to have it replaced and your looking about ~$1000.
