Default DME report, question

I am looking at an 997.2 GT3RS and got the attached DME report from the seller. Any experts on the forum that can help me interpret it. Good or bad?

It shows 11 range 5 overrevs at 368 hours. Overrev range 1-3 is generally acceptable.

Money shifted, definitely move on

You have well over 300 hours after the overrevs. No problems. Do a PPI and negotiate the price down since it does have overrevs in Range 5 (no big deal with the hours on record). Others will walk away from this car, but from my experience this is no problem.

Not sure where you're getting over 300 hours after overrevs. Range 1-5 all occurred at 368 hours. The pic does not show the total hour count. Maybe fine if you do compression/leakdown but most people would shy away.

Right no total operation hours shown so difficult to say if these over revs happened 368h ago or more.
Nonetheless a ppi is definitely the way to go. Some will hesitate with overevs in range 5 some won't. GL with your search.

Missed shift. I'd walk. If money shift happened more than 50 hours ago, maybe proceed with PPI and look into buying a power train warranty as hedge.

You're correct. I completely misread the report. Need the actual operations hours to make a better decision.
