Is the $180 price too low to be a thorough inspection?

(Yes... I searched the forum first.)
Might be a good idea to ask them what they are going to do for $180 - get a copy of their checklist and maybe a sample report of what they've provided other customers. Dallas-area independent (very reputable) charges $300 for 100 point PPI including paint inspection and DME readout.

A PPi really isn't the same as the porsche multi point....however, the true PPI with leakdown testing, etc is more necessary (and costly) on the older aircooled cars. Not relevant on a fairly new car with a clean DME and clean multi point.
You should be fine.

Congrats, seems like you're almost there... I'd be comfortable with that inspection you mentioned if I was purchasing with a CPO and or remaining factory warranty. If/when you decide to purchase an extended warranty the vehicle will be inspected. It's suggested, if you so choose, to purchase the extension before the factory warranty runs out. Good luck and I look forward to pics of your new ride.

Sounds like you found a great car. Just ensure the warranty is transferable and is applicable in your area. May want to cal your local dealer. Probably not an issue but you've gone this far.

Either way your in good shape. Since you're unsure how long you're going to keep it and what mods you might do the cheaper option may be better.

What color did you decide on?
