Is a CPO Boxster S worth 4000$ more?

[husker boxster]

Mine was a CPO when I bought it. I had a pwr steering pump and hose and a driver window regulator all repaired under warranty. During that time I also had a rt rear wheel bearing and a left frt lower control arm that needed repairing and these items were not covered by CPO (it is NOT a bumper to bumper warranty).

Were the extra $$$ worth the savings in repairs? Probably not, but the thing that made the CPO attractive to me was that I was travelling 725 miles to buy my car and I had peace of mind that this one would be good since it passed their inspection. This was my first Porsche and I didn't know about this forum or PPIs, so the CPO was my "woobie".

If both cars were serviced at that dealership, you may want to look at their records and see what has been done (or not done) to them. That my give you an idea of what may be lurking around the corner.

Good luck with your purchase.
