I have heard of accounts of over-revs listed on cars strait from the factory. I would get a written statement from the dealer stating that they would honor the warranty with those listed over-revs. Honestly, its not that bad. I've got over 80K on my 05 with no problems past needing a motor mount.

Yeah, it is odd - it just seems improbable that there could be a solitary ignition in each of the last three rev ranges. Plus, if it did happen, it happened about 5000 miles ago judging by the hour # and # of total miles and hours on the car, and everything is fine. The car seems strong to me...
And yet, I looked at another CPO 05 S today with 54,000 miles, and it had almost identical # of ignitions in range 1, and zero in each of the rest.

I think the bottom line is that this issue will not be determinative of which car I buy.
