I called the delaer back and asked for the total # of hours and ign details at those error points - they tell me that this was not recorded during the PPI.
The service rep did say that given Range 5 and 6 have been detected, it is not a good thing "motor has definitely been abised". If I was to come in for a CPO repair related to the motor, it would likely not be covered due to the Range 5 and 6 that are noted.
Im walking form this one.

add to that, that the service rep is saying porsche won't cover warranty repairs for the motor due to the range 6 and it's a no brainer to walk
with that aside, they should be able to see the exact details of # of ignitions, last time each range occurred and hrs since last recorded over rev very simply when they plug in their PIWIS. I think it takes them 30 seconds to plug into the port pull it up so they should do that for you upon request.

07_RS4, I have always commented here as if this was the car that I was buying for myself...
So I would walk from a Range 6 for sure! I personally don't care if it was done a long time ago. I know that these motors are bullet proof, and I am sure that the dealer would still warranty anything despite the fact that they sounded cold...
But you are being a premium car for a lot of money, and your first pcar, and therefore you deserve the best! There are virgin cars out there...
Q: I don't know my exchange rates...what is your US price on a TT and list what are some of the things that you are looking for? We can start thinking...

range 6 is definitely a bad mis-shift resulting in 8.5K or 9K revs if I'm not mistaken
add to that, that the service rep is saying porsche won't cover warranty repairs for the motor due to the range 6 and it's a no brainer to walk
with that aside, they should be able to see the exact details of # of ignitions, last time each range occurred and hrs since last recorded over rev very simply when they plug in their PIWIS.

Current exchange rate is approx. 3%. That said, I need to find a car in and around the $69-$70K USD range. By the time I bring it over with converstion, import fee 6.1%, delivery, RIV, plates etc. im at around the $77K to $79K CDN +/-
Here is my "wish list" for my ideal 997TT - very simple:
- '07 or '08 (likely '07 given my price range)
- Under 40K miles
- Black on Black
- 6-speed
Anything else the car may come with would be a bonus IE: Adaptive seats, PCCB's etc.
Here is the one I have my sites set on at the moment. It's a private sale and I have 2 Rennlister's that are willing to go check it out for me in person already:

If you do come across something worthwhile sharing, please do!
Again, I appreciate everyone's help with this. Best group of car enthusiasts I have ever dealt with - you guys are all very helpful!

The Porsche crest in headrests is indeed a cool option - one of those "bonus" items for me.

None of my business...
But maybe you and rotesAuto should talk live? Make a deal? Stretch, discuss, horse trade, ...maybe rotesAuto gives you a 5yr supply of avators?!
