991.2 Over Range 5 and 6 Bad?
I'm looking at a used 991.2 manual trans. It has over rev range 5 and 6. Should I pass on the car?

What does range 5 and 6 over rev mean?
Was the car redlined for extended periods?
will that void a warranty?

Here's the report. I can likely get the car at a deep discount with an extended warranty.

If, and I mean if, you buy the car make sure you hang onto that deep discount cash....you’re gonna need it.
There is always a reason for a discount and deep discount...Range 5/6 over revs is an immiediate reason why not to even consider no matter the discount. So many great 911’s out there, keep looking.

Don't buy stuff based on price. Buy based on value.

Only if buying by logic isn’t an option

The more serious question is why you're asking THAT question seriously.
it's a ****in Porsche 911. Drive it! If you're not hitting the rev limiter you're not driving you're car. You're simply *****-footing it thinking you're hard.
I hit rev limiter many times in my PDK.
protip: if you keep your throttle pinned to redline in 2nd and 3rd gear for 3 seconds or longer it will stop bouncing off the limiter and smooth out the throttle right at redline for a smoother and natural balance in a corner.
