RUN AWAY at $80k. Not a highly optioned car and the VERY RECENT Range 4 over revs and the high number of range 1/2's. There are too many good cars out there for that kind of money to take any risk.

The guy above that said "looks good" couldn't be more wrong

Are you saying range 4 was only 1 operating hour ago? Missed that part and would only proceed after a full PPI and warranty or minimum of 100 hours after. Still not a big deal as long as it has run it has accumulated more operating hours . Range 1 and 2 are nothing be scared off. Price is at a high side.

They supplied me with a PPI that was in late February and this DME was taken in March which leads me to believe last 1-2 hrs of driving were done by the dealer. That alone worries me if all those ranges were ticked within that time period. The PPI i believe only indicated that the battery was switched.

I also agree price is too high, but before i even offered anything i wanted to check with you guys to see if the ranges were a possible problem. I am not to familiar how the ranges operate.

I was hoping to snag a LSD/ sport adaptive seats/ sport chrono for options. But the more and more i search the lsd doesnt seem to be a highly selected option. About the LSD, i have read it is pretty much useless unless upgraded? Which in that respect i never found if someone can answer this. If it doesnt come with the LSD from the factory can it be added on without a major hassle. Sport adaptive seats would be nice, but i think i would switch to recaro sportsers cs or a similar seat anyways.

So that leaves me with sport chrono which even then, is that a make or break option even if i plan to tune? I know it changes the driving characteristics, but after a tune shouldnt the tuned sport mode be the same as a non sport chrono fully tuned?

Thanks


Jon

That's a lot of money for that car given the lack of options.

The DME wouldn't scare me if it weren't for the fact that it looks like the stealer just punished this car recently. Can you make them certify it?

PS-the DME on the car I just bought makes this one look like childs play.. However, I bought a modded car and the over-revs in the dangerous ranges were hundreds of hours ago.

Good Luck.

Kinda my same thoughts, either the dealer or a person that came for a test drive reefed on it. I am not sure about the certification. Being the over revs are so recent that worries me. I think i am going to pass on it
