DME SCAN - Opinion Please
Greetings to all. Can someone chime in and comment on the following DME dump?
Current hours 2037.0 # of ignitions Hrs @ last Range 1 (7300 rpm/7500) 2913 1990.0 Range 2 (7500 rpm/7700) 302 1927.4 Range 3 (7700 rpm/7900) 31 383.0 Range 4 (7900 rpm/8400) 2 383.0 Range 5 (8400 rpm/9500) 1 383.0 Range 6 (9500 rpm/11000) 0 _ Late shift, missed shift? Thanks in advance. |
the range 5 happened early @383 hours and the car has 2000+ hrs on it already. private seller or dealer? If this is a CPO car and the price is good I'd do it. otherwise no.

The car is tainted, you'd better really want the color, options etc. Don't you love the way the car was hammered past the limiter right before it is offered for sale? Same thing showed on mine, but I didn't have anything past range 2. You don't get above range 2 unless you miss a shift - shifting at redline through the range won't get you there.

Being new to the forum, I think I'm missing the reference :confused:
Thanks guys. One would think a definitive answer could be had. The car would have been sold with a few months left on the CPO, but since it is offered through a broker/independent dealer, the CPO is void. The car is 6.5 yrs old with 50205 miles. It runs strong and there are no leaks and that seems to be the only positive. It seems range 3 - 5 were one episode however a long time ago. I would like to find a one owner car soon - perhaps the end of summer there will be better pickings. |
It looks like it was a quick down shift, 1 level 5 And 2 level 4's wouldn't scare me away. 1 the one means one ignition, do the quick math. 1/8400 of a minute!

cb333, well stated.
I too would pass. There can be no definitive answer since you are basically asking a question of "how tolerant of risk are you?" So here don't want to take chances and others do and in the end, every car gets sold one way or another. Good luck and enjoy whatever ride you buy. |
Why buy a tainted car when there are others which aren't ? Plus it has over 50K miles... that in itself makes it off limits . the seller has a broker? ( can't even face the new buyer)
Once ANY car crosses 50K miles that owner ought to be firmly commited to driving it into the ground. If it looks to good to be true -- it isn't . |
