How would I validate if the Porsche dealer ran the report correctly? Thanks!

TBH, I don’t think you can really mess it up, but those #s so recently make me wonder. With a Durametric you select the car you are scanning, I would think if the selected the wrong car (i.e. C2S vs Turbo) it just wouldn’t read anything at all. I would go with the idea they are correct, it just seems crazy that the car was literally just pounded on 6 minutes earlier.

It is hard to get it wrong. You just have a snippet of the report. At the top of the screen is the VIn number of the vehicle you are reading the report on. That part of your picture is missing.

Maybe the OP was the one test driving it six minutes ago

Thanks again for all of the quick responses. I compared this report to another DME from a same year, 2009 911 TT, with 25k miles, (this report was from the car with 16k miles) and now I see what everyone means - there was an obvious difference in over revs. The dealer offered me $10k off the car, so $80k to take the car as is. Although tempting I will pass.
