The Porsche CPO checklist is pretty comprehensive (but not the best in the business). A copy of the completed checklist should be provided to the buyer at the time of sale. It checks for all manuals, books, pamphlet, radio card. It also checks the operation of all keys. If within 2500 mi of a scheduled service it requires the service be completed. A good mechanic can get a CPO done in 2 - 3 hours (including a test drive) -- unless something needs to be fixed or a scheduled maintenance performed. My first CPO was done 4.0 by the dealer. The second at the same dealer was obviously not done at all. The sales manager was offended when I pointed out that it was obviously not done. The dealership owner had a far different view. Porsche USA was not happy as well since their CPO warranty assumes the car is in a certain state when it leaves the lot.

I would call the dealer and request a copy of the checklist. Then talk to the sales man and/or sales manager.

Hope this helps.
ATB,
