Looking at an 08 Turbo Cab with 10K miles. Car is very clean. Its a tiptronic

vin# WP0CD29918S788785

Can anybody run a history on this car for me and provide any details?(warranty work, options listing etc)

Also, given that its a tiptronic should i be at all worried about over-revving as, correct me if I am wrong, but the tiptronic prevents over-revving, correct? (Still planning on doing a pre-inspection and DME scan)

Also, any other pre-buying advice you have is welcomed.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

 

You could still over rev a tip car, get a dme report

 

thanks. as i said i am still getting a DME.

interesting, because a Porsche tech told me that the tiptronic will prevent any over-revving. he told me the trans will auto shift up and wont allow a down shift it if would cause an over-rev.

 

I was told that a PDK cannot be over reved. Not sure about a trip car.

 

I think you have them reversed. My panamera has a pdk and you can over-rev it. It has no rev limiter.

 

According to turbo owner manual page 177, you cannot over rev engine upshifting or down shifting with pdk because the " controller"won't allow it.

 

I'm sure the ECU still has a rev limiter, even with the pdk. Can't believe porsche would do that in this car.

 

with out paying auto check says
AutoCheck found 11 record(s) for this vehicle.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr></tr><tr><td id="rcVehicle" class="resultsCopy">14 records found in the CARFAX Vehicle History database </td></tr></tbody></table>seems like alot for a 2008

Hmmm, wasn't a complete record available for free on carfax.com some time ago? I remember looking up one without having to pay!
