I'm looking to purchase a 997.1TT from a dealership and attached is the DME report they sent me. It's for an 08 cab, 35k miles, CPO. What do you guys think? Both for the over revs and the price. Thanks in advance.

With very low range 4 and 0 range 5 and 6. I say you are good to go.

It even seems to have a low number of range 1's for 35k miles.

If it passes a PPI, I say buy it

It's a CPO and at a Porsche dealership so I wouldn't think I need to worry about a PPI, correct?

+1, the DME looks good to me as well, but you'll get 10 different opinions on that DME

100% do a PPI. You may find things that may surprise you. For example you will find CPO cars that have had a repainted bumper or door which may not be disclosed unless you specifically ask. It may not impact your purchase decision but it's good to know this stuff

good luck

Absolutely do a PPI at an independent mechanic, not the Porsche dealership that's selling the car or has serviced the car.

UT_farhan, I tend to be more conservative and would do a PPI despite CPO from a Porsche dealer. You can always negotiate the cost of the PPI into the deal if something comes up...

Highly recommend the PPI.

Never like to see range #4 (and above) over-revs. Good news is that the last #4 event happened 218 hours ago, or about 9,150 miles ago. Is the car chipped? Maybe that's why we are seeing the pings in range #3 and #4??

DME is perfectly fine.

If everything checks out, good luck getting the car!

Question - My car is a TIP and therefore should have no over revs. However, if I manually shift using my "paddles" and take it to redline, will this be captured by the DME?

UT_farhan

Thanks for all the help. I'm heading down to the dealership today. Hopefully by the end of the day I'll have a 997.1TT!

Cool, good luck

Good luck to you! ++

I have never heard of a TIP setting any levels. So I tend to think that just running into the rev limiter with the TIP does not even trip Level 1? (Now that I think about it, doesn't the TIP always upshift even when in "sport" or "manual" mode? Or does it actually hit the rev limiter and stay governed at that RPM?)

Awesome! Good luck!

No issue at all with that report.
+- on the ppi, if they know u at the dealer, cpo, etc I wouldn't sweat it, I've seen stuff missed on ppi as well, mostly air cooled but still.
