This thread is not about me or you . It's about whether or not to buy a car or keep looking . Some choose to pass on a car just because it was owned by a smoker . Othes choose to pass on a car because it has crumbs of food. Each buyer has his own boundary . Each person selects what he feels will give him the best choice .

Passing on a car is not a statement about the car itself . It is a statement regarding the choice

If this is an effort to somehow silence the opinions of those deemed "cheerleaders " .. it's not working . It won't silence me !!!!

 

Bingo !!!!
and if those over revs that someone else did become his problems when he goes to sell it .

 

Have you ever plugged in durametric to check the statistics on your over rev ranges? You may have a few surprises awaiting .

 

I would check for under revs.

 

I just read the other thread you posted . In that post you requested the tuners to reply and only they can do so.

But there is a difference . The car on this thread is a bone stock 997s and the tuned Turbos are not only a completely differrent car .. but even the degree to where they are tuned will vary . Some tuned Turbos have even gone as far as changing the car's internals upward of 800Hp . For all purposes one might call the car a Porsche because the body and engine platform are Porsche .. but it really is a very different species when it comes to comparing it to the car on this thread .

 

. If you car has wound up with a few spikes look on the bright side. A P car without any spikes has no badges of honour .

 

exactly.

 

Whichever way you look at it both share the same issue though . Buyers just love them it would appear .

 

No one has contested level 1 and 2 over revs .

One can lump all over revs into one category and call it "BS" .
It doesn't mean he's correct though.

 

Larry,

Again, SOS with you. Worried about the selling instead of the enjoyment.

Your a garage queen owner. And a broken record.

I get it but that doesn't mean yours is the only way.

 

Its not about you and I. Its your attitude when you took that dig at a new owner. Say what you want but he and the rest of us know what thats about.

After he already said he bought the car. Way to go big fellow. That must have made you feel really big.

 

One can basically call it anything they like but at the end of the day any range spikes will to a degree dictate the value of the car and, the direction of a sale and valuation in many circumstances. That is a fact . Not saying one shouldn't give his car a good ole go during the period of ownership, just that there will be a price to pay at one point where the over revs are concerned. The other concern is there is an inaccuracy in the system going by the clip (post 9 on my thread) that isn't going to help toward that situation. My philosophy is to enjoy your car while you own it and drive it the way you want. And if by doing so it costs you at sale time then deal with it. Not much else you can do really . As they say there is a buyer for everything,...price pending of course .

 

Seriously? You're going to take an argument about how to evaluate a used car and make these types of comments?

 

Bobby,

Have you read the thread from the start?

 

Are you really asking me if I have read a thread before I start posting? The fact that you have asked that suggests that you think I have interjected without reading the entire thread.

If this thread doesn't come back to topic minus all the attitude, it will be closed...and for the record - I read nearly every post on this forum.
