i just walked away from the following report on a 2007 911 turbo coupe- yellow/tan

Range 1 : 27,752 @ 3218.900
Range 2 : 12,923 @ 3218.700
Range 3 : 3,936 @ 3218.700
Range 4 : 788 @ 3218.700
Range 5 : 2 @ 3218.700
Range 6 : 1 @ 3131.600

 

Wow that's the worst I've see. Wise decision!

 

Thx. I lost some $$ on the deal but it was $$ well spent to not get stuck with a $57k tin can. Buyer beware..

 

Whats the mileage of that car?

 

59.4k miles
I really liked the car but couldn't make that gamble. I'm 99% sure one porsche dealer was hiding the issue for the seller. Always get a second opinion.

 

Found another one. I've been advised to skip. Do others concur? The last level 4, 5, 6 all happened with in the same second again..

Level 1: 2700, level 2: 727, level 3: 9, level 4: 2, level 5: 2, level 6: 1

 

Recent?

 

600 hours on a 40k mile car.

 

Hours and mileage don't look right. Most of my driving is at highway speeds and I've averaged 45mph over 4 years - 40,000 miles and 600 hours indicates average of 67mph - seems really high.

 

The 4/5/6 over rev occurred at 600h. I don't have the total hours on the car. I suspect there is at least 2100 hours on the car.

 

OK - makes sense. If it does have 2100 hours looks like overrevs occurred 1500 hours ago - any problems would have surfaced by now. That particular DME report wouldn't have scared me off...but then it's not my decision or money. Keep searching - you'll find the right one.

 

well.. yeah. being a first time 911 turbo buyer i'm probably overly cautious. worst case -- maybe i could talk them down

 

im starting to think there are a lot of bad 'stick' drivers out there
im resisting the urge to settle for an auto-something. i know they are "fast" but i think stick is more fun

 

i dont think its so much stick drivers vs. tuned cars. As soon as the tune raises the rev limiter, you're seeing a lot more over revs and its that much easier for the rpms to pop up into the upper ranges.

 

I have a '08 with APR tune that retains the stock rev limiter, I logged my over revs, did a 4th gear pull and let the engine bounce off the rev limiter going WOT. I checked and the car registered range 3 over revs from that.
