If you have already read this on other forums, sorry – move on.

Just about a week to go before I collect my new C2S. For insurance purposes I had to contact the dealer to get delivery mileage which turns out to be 26 miles. Initially I thought this was high but a quick search showed this to be about the average. However, I then started worrying about what might have happened during those 26 miles, I know some 997 owners have had warranty disputes because of the number of ignitions in ranges 1 to 6 shown on DME data analysis. Hence my question; can the number of ignitions in the ranges 1 to 6 be analysed by date or time such that any mistreatment prior to delivery can be isolated and identified as such? Or is the only safe option to get a DME print-out before taking delivery and has anyone done this?

A quick hook-up to the PIWIS tester by a tech can get you the info you are looking for.

Type 1 ...rev-limiter hits
Type 2 ...mechanical over-runs.

I do not believe that they will be identifed by date or time, only the # of ignitions if any, in each catagory.

For peace of mind, it only takes a few minutes.

Hope this helps!

Dealer obliged and provided a print out dated and timed just a couple of hour before I collected the car. Zero ignitions recorded across the entire range. Operating hours counter was 3.000 and total distance was 36.000 (km I presume). Odometer reading was 26 miles which is 42km so a little confused about this. Still its nice to have a little more information on the cars short history.

I always wonder if they let some idiot red line them. I asked the dealer about that when I test drove my car with 30 some miles on it. He claimed that they don't. But that has to happen.

26 miles (42km as you said) is high in my opinion. I had 4 km on my 2006 Carrera4S.

Two cars I purchased when I lived in USA had 4 miles (Audi) and 6 miles (BMW).
