Ppi's don't mean squat.... You can't hold them liable for any unexpected mishaps after purchase, they are sometimes paid off buy the car seller or offered a percentage of the sale. I went through the same ordeal with an Audi RS4... After all the ppi's were done I still had a gut feelin that shot wasn't right, went to fl and saved myself a 44,000 dollar mistake.

The problem with the PPI is they dont listen for tcase whine or get the car up to 80 and check to see if there is a slight grind.
CA to AZ really is not that far... I would suggest you do your best to drive up there... although i know that may not be possible..
I drove 5 hours to get mine, stayed the night in a hotel and made a weekend out of it (made the girl happy)

so a tranny build, engine build and a little transfer case dosent scare you?
Id be pissed regardless of price.. unless your getting it dirt cheap. Good luck man.

I think it's more like 8 hours away. I actually have gone to different cities such as Vegas, Colorado Springs, and L.A. before to purchase the previous evos I've owned, but I'm not able to travel like that right now unfortunately.
Honestly, with what I plan to do with the car, if there are some mechanical issues, I really don't care, especially because it's at a very reasonable price. That's why I was just wanting to find a mediator to help deal with the transaction.

^^^Honestly, you've got your opinion across I believe. I wasn't asking for opinions, though I do appreciate your input.
I wrote this thread specifically to ask if there was a buying service to assist me though.
Even if this deal doesn't work out, it would be great to know whether or not something like this exists that can assist me in any car buying experiences in the future.
Thanks

I don't think there's a specific company that will do something like this, but I know in the Supra community many members have helped people in your situation by looking at the car, taking pictures, and reporting an honest opinion on the car.
I still agree with the others in that I wouldn't buy a car unseen, especially an Evo, but if you absolutely cannot go pick it up personally, I would reach out to members in the California region and see if someone is willing to help you out.
