Getting a PPI is more about one's own well-being than an insurance clause. If you are scared of getting screwed, then a PPI may be enough to ease your mind. It IS a 'cheap' way to get the car checked out, and another way to go about the purchase would be to have the SELLER agree to pay for the PPI if you DON'T buy it BECAUSE the PPI showed something serious. Or, you could agree to split it.
OR, you can buy WITHOUT a PPI to keep wifey happy, then get it inspected anyway so you have more information for yourself. It would be good info whenever you get it. By your enthusiasm, it seems to be in good nick.
It is all a gamble of sorts, do you pay a modest sum on the chance that something would be found where you would not buy.
All comes down to a gut feeling, I'd say. Course, you COULD get a "perfect" on the PPI and have something major go kaplooey two days later anyway.
Me, I bought without an inspection. It worked out great.
