That's the most in range 5 and 6 I've ever seen posted here.. Some on this forum would have you light the car on fire if it has a single range 6..

That said, I would proceed with caution and I personally would only do it with some form of aftermarket warranty..

300hrs ago, negotiate a lower price and have them include an aftermarket warranty. (Great idea sabbin)

Range 5&6 happened the same time but how many hours ago. Minimum 600 miles ago? That range is high but not necessarily catastrophic as it normally presents itself fairly quickly. If the car was under warranty and the motor was affected, Porsche or third party warranty will not cover it. 200-300 hours after the fact is fine. Just use it to your advantage when negotiating.
