The problem with evaluating the "value" of a CPO is that this is tied to the risk profile of the buyer. Some folks feel the need to insure against risk, others do not.

The second issue is that you really do not know how much you are paying for your CPO vs the "same car" without the warranty. You just know that you are paying alot more for that car at the Porsche dearer than you would at some other dealer or a private sale.

Lastly, all Porsche dealers are required to bring the car up to "spec" before Porsche will issue the CPO. That is worth something but how much, who knows.
