My advice:

1) Ask for a print out of the DME, and post your ignitions for the six over rev ranges the DME stores. There should be none in ranges 3-6. There will be some in range #1 and a few, if any, in range #2. Do not buy the car until you see this multipage report.

2) Buy the "S".

3) Here is the CPO language:
