This is an arrangement you need to make with the seller either on paper or verbally but of course, you should only pursue this if you are serious enough to committing to the purchase. In the end, nobody likes to have their time and efforts wasted.
Typically in the past, I've paid for the PPI myself and then use report as a means for negotiating. Ask the shop to provide you with a cost breakdown of parts and labour. I've done this on several BMWs, Porsches, and Alfa Romeos and these cars aren't exactly the cheapest to maintain/upkeep. The PPIs have saved me a tonne of headaches and potential financial burdens. Keep in mind, you have to be prepared to walk away from the car itself at the same time (i.e. the cost of parts/repairs exceed the value of the car by ten-fold etc.) For whatever reason you decide not to purchase the vehicle, make sure the seller does not get a copy of the PPI. It's your money.
If in the event the seller does not agree to allowing you to have the car go through a PPI, I think it's a clear indication to steer clear.
