Default DME Report Help

Once again I turn to the experts here. No clue on how to read a DME report. How is this one looking? I would appreciate anyone giving me a brief idea of what I am looking at and how to read it. Thanks in advance.

EVO, what are you concerned about? Buy a car, and purchase Easy Care or Fidelity warranty.

This car has banged the Rev limiter HARD, and has a missed shift with an engine speed over 8000 rpms.. At the end of the day, is that acceptable risks for you with a used Porsche?

There are other cars out there with LESS, and many have only minor Type 1's and Type 2's..

The car that I bought had single digit type 3's.

Car is a 2007 turbo. Arctic silver on cocoa , chrono, adaptive, manual, clear bra and no sunroof. 28k miles. Dealer after nego is at $68.5k before running dme. Might nego a little more.

Kevin, getting a warranty is not the problem. I dont want a ragged on car that I will need to replace alot of wear parts on right away Warranty covers failure, not rotors, pads, shocks,clutch, and other wear items.

Where is your PPI?? Have you paid to have the car inspected by another shop>independent from the selling dealer?

On my car, my wing hydraulics failed at 20K, Slave cylinder and accumulator, failed at 22K. You need to look at> Tires, wheel bearings, coolant reservoir, coolant fittings and front radiators..

Car is at a Porsche dealership so I'm content with their PPI.

Is it at the selling dealership? If so, you might want a little more independence in your PPI.
