Default Hopeful New Owner / PPI Request

Greetings
Looking to buy an XJR, but can't get up to MN from NE to take a look at it and wondered if anyone had a referral on someone I can hire to do a PPI on an R?
Thanks for the guidance - south Minneapolis area.
Nick

Have asked Dave at Top Gear in Minneapolis to take a look. Will report back on the process to help out others.
Thx

Would you also let us know the cost associated with it?

FYI
I had Dave at Top Gear in Minneapolis do a PPI on an 06 XJR with 54k miles that I was looking to purchase. He was able to fit me in the day after I called up and completed the review including test drive, code review and general look over effectively during the day.
He delivered a concise yet detailed review of the car outlining issues, approx costs to repair and some other concerns that he had. He also outlined alternative approaches to fixing each issue over the phone.
Charming and very helpful gentleman.
He did point out that he wasn't able to do the work himself as he was booked out at least 6+ months (which I had worked out from other online comments).
Cost just under $200.00, which I thought was eminently reasonable.

I hope that this information is of use to others.
