You can almost always negotiate a good price for a dead horse.

Just my opinion and the 4, 5 and 6 DME dings aside, going by the rest I get the impression that this car has been driven pretty "spirited". Some would say it looks like it's been driven on the hard side.

I'd say apart from whatever happened at 907.6h, that's a pretty clean report for a manual Turbo with 50k miles. I've seen plenty of DMEs with ranges 1 and 2 maxed out, 2332 is nothing and could have happened on a single spirited canyon run.
