Welcome! And that's a SA-WEET Cutlass!
And it sounds like you made the right call on the XKR.
(Though I have to say, you don't strike me as someone who'd be sweating a PPI...)

Wow! Nice Cutlass! I miss the 442 we had when I was kid. Enjoy the XKR. Good choice. I dont even look at the dash anymore, unless Im in manual mode and need some RPM info. Best of luck!

Sweet rides!

In college I had a 64 Cutlass convertible, in red like yours. Wish I still had it.

Welcome aboard!

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.

Ditto.
