Whats a DME report on a PDK gonna tell you?

Over revs in different rev ranges, just like any other I would assume.

??? It's a PDK!!!!

You can still get a DME report on a PDK car.

It will tell you how many times it has hit the Rev Limiter (Not talking over Revs), and if that number is high, chances are it has been tracked.

Also you can actually over Rev a PDK, not easy to do but possible.

When I purchased my first 991 GT3, it was a used one with 5000 miles, asked for a DME report and it showed a lot more information then I thought it would being a PDK.

Some dealers will tell you that you can't have a DME report on a PDK but this is not true from experience.

Here is a another thing you can check... Look at the front and back tires and see if there is more camber in them compared to the other cars in the dealer.

When I sold my GT3 back to the dealer, they left the racing alignment on the car (was really surprised about that), so anyone with any track knowledge would of noticed that in a second.

Have them put it on a lift and examine the underside. Pretty easy to see track rash on the tray, suspension mods, etc.

Not being snotty: how would you determine track rash over marks from regular use?

How? I thought the computer would prevent you from shifting into gear at a forbidden RPM.

Track use- also use a flashlight to look through the radiator screens for rubber build up along the bottom edge. Will be there unless a lot of effort made to clean out. Nothing wrong with track use as long pricing reflects it. Ideally would have a log of track mileage so you know the staring point for track maintenance required (CL nuts, wheel bearings, hubs). PPI is a good idea to include inspection of the brake caliper piston pucks- if they are cracked it's an expensive repair.

I have heard a couple scenarios like going down a steep hill or the tires coming off the ground while still on the gas.

As i stated it is not easy to do but it is possible.

I remember when I saw the DME report for my older 2015 GT3, it showed the 4 different ranges even being a PDK, where there was a few on range one and two, a couple on 3 and none on 4.

When you hit the Rev Limiter I guess there are different stages of it, not sure to be honest but it was helpful information.

I would have them remove all the body panels and use a flashlight to inspect for track use as well......

I think it might have been tracked at some point because I can't imagine those are upgrades for looks. Having Sport Cup 2 tires, though, argues against recent tracking because I don't think they make those anymore and hence been there for a while. Also, being sold with non-OEM rotors indicate the car is not CPO, just things to consider.

Did you drive the car? Easy way to tell if it is a track car is to look at three different areas on the car: rocker panel right behind the front wheels, fronts of the fender flares on the rear, and panel behind the rear wheels. If this car has been tracked then you will see extra pitting of the paint these areas from small debris kicked up on the track.

But honestly at the mileage and the price the dealer is offering this car at, I think it is a decent buy. A 2014 with 9500 miles on it for $125k is not a bad deal.
