You're going for a C4S as you're looking for a borescope? Might b e worth giving Grant a call at Hartech about the significance of a borescope that shows scoring and a scope that doesn't show scoring. As Baz and Grant will likely share with you, interpretation of the findings and putting them into context is key.
Sorry cant help you with a PPI dealer down that part of the world. Phone the recommended guys, get a feel for them and then decide. A good PPI costs around £300 and borescope is extra (typically around £150) from the guys up this part of the world who are any good. brief the indy on what it is that you want after asking what is covered - I have seen PPI badged as one hour labour with a guy in his dungarees with no report but a jotter with some hieroglyphs and word of mouth feedback. I'm assuming that's not what you want - and presumably you want a written report, assessment of faults and findings and estimated costs to put things right. Mileage should be validated against the ECU data and a full independent HPI report should be made available.

It's a nice looking C4S....I would be happy with another if I can find a good one. Can't be many one owner cars knocking about.
I think they are so much car for the money, just a shame about the inherent issues with them.
Metropole blue interior wouldn't be my first choice but it's not offensive. I think if it's as described and I air on the side of caution I could be a contender.

Try to get to the root of why a one owner C4S has been off-loaded. As you state, there are inherent issues. After one experience it would be a tragedy to inherit a similar experience. Is it at a Porsche specialist? If not, be especially careful in having it checked out. A Porsche specialist would very likely scope it and check.it over before deciding if to take it into stock. A non-specialist could easily take it into stock as a part-ex for another car on the forecourt without paying too much attention on 'inherent issues' out of lack.of experience with this model and engine.
I hope it works out for you. There is a fair amount of emotion in the C4S in your post and emotion can.overtake the logic.
