Hello everyone-

Considering buying a 2009 Porsche Turbo Convertible. I was able to request the DME scan, copy of CPO checklist and Car Fax report. All attached. Car currently has 34000+ miles. A few questions I would like your help and opinion:

1. Results of the DME scan indicate:
Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range 1 367
Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range 2 17
Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range 3 0
Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range 4 0
Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range 5 0
Number of ignitions at speed> maximum speed, range 6 0

Anything to worry about with this DME scan report? Is there any information missing on the DME report?
Any information that should be provided besides attached.

2. The car doesn't have a Universal Audio Interface. Is it necessary to listen to music and make phone calls?

3. The dealership states that a 30,000 mile service, brakes, rotors and tires were changed at the time of certification.

4. Car Fax report has 2 owners. The dealership states the following:
" It lists two owners but as you will see the first was only for 1 month. This was due to the transfer to the leasing company." Is this typical? Any concerns with having 2 owners listed.

Any help or comments you can provide will be much appreciated.

 

The 2009 has the newer PCM 2.0. It will include the bluetooth module for your phone.

 

I assume its a tiptronic? Very few over-revs... must have been a really passive driver...

Funny I thought the time (hrs of operation) was listed next to the ranges.

 

It is actually a manual transmission car.

 

1. that DME is perfect, zero to worry about.
2. i believe you need that interface to hook up your ipod to the pcm. for phone calls it needs the bluetooth as stated.
3. i would get a list of all receipts to make sure the oil changes were performed on schedule
4. not an expert on leasing, but that situation of 1 month transfer of ownership sounds like it could be a normal process.

 

Car was basically taken to redline once in a blue moon and that's it. Driven by a grandma

 

It looks good...however to be 100% sure regarding miles/hours of operation i need to know operating hours of the engine and total mileage of the car...Also when you read Vehicle Data at top dme segment of piwis it shows you the exact operating hour of the engine that the last ignition spark occured for that specific range of RPM...the data you provided are from Vehicle analysis log.On a different page of this analysis engine hours and exact hours of each last spark are shown...If you ve printed out that log do a search for these data...
