What do you think when a dealer "can't" give you the DME report

The DME keeps a log of when the engine has spun past a hard-coded limit, and groups the events by how high over it went. It's pretty easy to get ranges 1 and 2 from redlining it in first gear (especially if you have an ECU tune that raises the rev limiter) but past that into ranges 3-6 is usually a missed shift.
If your car hasn't blown up yet, it's probably good to go, but too many records could affect your resale despite the fact that 99% of the used cars people buy have no history of these things.
