Default GT2 DME Report w Range 6

Hey Guys -

Would love to get everyone’s opinion on the following DME report.

Motor has 1112.6 hours on it.

Range 1- 63841@ 960.8
Range 2 - 24219@960.8
Range 3 - 9599@877.8
Range 4 - 3987@877.8
Range 5 - 170@ 816.3
​​​​​​​Range 6 - 144 @ 815.9

Looking at buying the car and wondering if the 4-6 ranges roughly 300 hours ago will be a problem.

​​​​​​​Thanks!

Well, it survived. If everything else checks out, use the report to hammer the seller on price.

Car is on consignment. Guy who owns it only had it a short time, has an accident.

Someone zinged it to over 9K rpm.. Likely Ok but I'd factor in a serious price reduction into the price

Don't waste your time and money. Buy a clean car...

Rear end damage...bumper and other components replaced. Not that this is a bad thing if properly maintained but it was apparently tracked a lot

The thing with this car is that it's a little over $100,000 cheaper than the other ones listed which is enticing to people who can't drop $280,000 on a clean one (Canadian $$$)

There’s something very enticing about a car with high kms. One I can use without feeling bad and counting kms.

300 hours ago is enough where the engine should be fine.

Just make sure you get it for the right price as the next buyer will be asking the same thing if you ever go to sell it, however it should be many more hours ago at that point and it should show that nothing has happened in your ownership and will be fine for them as well. I think at this point I would be more concerned with the damage that was brought up above. Paint meter the car, have a solid PPI done on it and get the full story for what happened. From there, negotiate your price. Seems like a great driver GT2 if you want to load miles onto it.
