@Dr.Konfusir no, we are solidly in the middle of the country and nowhere near a coastline
@Dino356987, were you guys affected by the recent east coast rains/flooding? Any of those concerns on this vehicle?

@Needtoaddanotherone2 In the 997.1 Turbo, the rev limiter (redline) kicks in at 6750 RPMs in gears 1-5 and 6800 in 6th gear.
A reading of 2 in range 5 does not mean it was overrevved two times. It means it registered two ignitions in range 5. One revolution of the crank is 3 ignitions, so this means it spent less than one revolution at this speed which equates to 5 one-thousands of a second (5/1000 or .005 seconds) in range 5 (assuming 8k RPMs, range 5 is 7900-9000)
@eastbay_j you could actually get a manual 997.2 Turbo up to 2013.

@beckerj01 All good. Was just surprised. It's a very common thing / option. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it (as they say).
@BigSwole no that’s why I asked.
@beckerj01 Have you never seen a fire extinguisher in a Porsche before? They're optioned in on a LOT of cars.
Do you know if this car has been on fire? Fire extinguisher at drivers seat.

FWIW I don’t know the seller or the car…but I do own 2 997 Turbos. Incredible cars.
1. The last manual 911 Turbo
2. The last Mezger 911 Turbo
3. The last 911 Turbo with hydraulic steering
4. The last 911 Turbo that wasn’t huge!

This is an informative (and entertaining) video on DME reports. He talks about a lot of Porsches, but at about 4 minutes and 14 minutes in he specifically talks about 997 Turbos. This car’s DME is not a big deal. It’s not even a small deal. Anyone considering bidding on this car needs to watch the whole video (others should watch it for entertainment and information)! Beautiful car. GLWTA.
Shame about the over-rev, but these are incredibly stout engines. The over-rev will not affect the final bid.

@Chappie the car was traded to me less than a week ago so I was not with the for last .8 hours. I will say this, the car is in incredible condition inside and out and drives amazing.
Nice car, but a little more info from seller explaining what happened in the last 0.8 of hours of operation would help.

What it means https://911virgin.com/engine-revs/
@PHo911 According to Porsche it's 7000 RPM
@Needtoaddanotherone2 Red line is 6750. From experience, unpacking DME info on these turbos is an Internet deep dive…
Bid in the amount of $1,000
Love the color and everything about it - more explanation from the seller and/or those knowledgeable about what that means would be very helpful. Thank you.
@Needtoaddanotherone2 Got it thank you. I was just looking at the photos and where the little marks go from black to red/orange.
@honeybadger Redline is 7,000 unless I'm mistaken.
@honeybadger Looking at the tach photo, it looks like red zone starts at 6,600 and only goes to 8,000 rpm. So that means somebody revved the engine at basically the max range of the tachometer or even higher twice in the last 0.8 hours of the engine operations?
@Needtoaddanotherone2 Must’ve been the valet at A-1 EZ OK Park
I've been looking for a 997 Turbo. I'm not very familiar with how DME reports work. The fact that all the ranges show the limits were hit at 380.9 hrs, and total operating hours is 381.7, does this mean, for example range 5 were hit twice in the last 0.8 hours of the engine running? In forums, they say that for 997 Turbos, range 5 is 7,900-9,000 RPMs. Assuming that is true, does this mean 7,900-9,000 RPM range was hit twice in the last 0.8 hours of the engine running? Thank you for everyone's help in better understanding what this means.
@Dino356987 My comment wasn't an attempt to disparage your dealership. I've visited your website and read the testimonials and comments all raving about the quality of your inventory but the fact remains - someone over revved the car.
@Edzach we did not take the car for joy ride, we’ve dealt in exotic cars for almost 30 years and take great pride in what we do, so please refrain from making comments like this.
@Needtoaddanotherone2 recently - as in the selling dealer went for a joy ride.
Holy cow that DME shows someone took the car (380 hour mark) for a joy ride and didn't know how to drive.
I have sent a picture of the DME to PCar, should be up anytime
I agree a DME would be very helpful.
Can you upload the DME please?
