Default DME Report Thoughts Please

I received the attached DME for a 2017 911S that I am considering, just under 8500 miles, and is being offered as a CPO. Pass or pursue? Thanks!

My understanding having recently been in the CPO market for a similar low mileage 991.2s is that they wont certify a car with ignitions above range 3. Many people will say this report is good-to-go for you. With that said, and with my very limited knowledge of what these reports mean, this car does not appeared to have been babied in it's very low number of miles that it was driven. So if you're looking for one that was driven by a granny to the grocery store, this is not the one. At least this is my completely amateur interpretation how these DME reports were explained to me.

Also, I found this article/posting very interesting.

For instance, THIS is a 911 S with around 30k miles that look no doubt to have been driven very gently.

Not thrilled with this report:

8,500 miles / 730 hours = 11.6 mph (average)

That's a VERY low ave mph. Something does not jive.

The over-revs are not severe and many hours ago.

Those over revs are minor and 400 hours ago. The average speed over the 8,500 miles in 730 hours = 11.6mph. That's low. Plus, CPO. Good to go.

Ask the person who ran this report for the "Counter Start Cycles". And report back.

Good point - I would expect to see average speed around 30mph.

Correct. My Porsches are about 50 mph but, I'm never in traffic and don't daily drive 'em.

On the flip-side you don't want to see numbers like 75 because you might be buying a race car.

I don't see anything to be overly concerned about. As far as the low average MPH, there are many possible reasons for this. Traffic, someone who religiously warms it up, small town, combination of all. I wouldn't fret about it since it is only into range 2, very limited, and long ago. My car was CPO and had 0 in all ranges, some people here said that it wasn't driven properly. I have likely fixed that!

So the dealer sent me a 162 page "VAL information >> Summary" pdf doc for the car they ran. I dont see a "counter start cycles" section. Is it maybe named something else? How about this one?

not abused in the classic sense of the word, and regardless it's CPO so you're covered... if it has the options you're looking for, do it.
