Would you guys buy a low mileage car with type two over revs, the car ran fine and the last over rev was 200 hours ago. I was curious so to compare my boxster had 0 type 2 over revs but 11,000 type 1 (thats why my ims was in good shape). I decided to pass on the car as im worried the type two over revs may have damaged or at minimum really beat on the components in the motor.

For those that don't know type 1 is when you bounce off the rev limiter and type 2 is a bad downshift that causes rpms to surpass the rev limit.
