Each Porsche dealer only has access to the service it has performed on cars at that dealership. However, all Porsche dealers have access to any WARRANTY work done at any dealership. By warranty work, I mean work covered under Porsche warranty.,

Hence, the only dealer who can reveal the service that your owner paid for would be Newport Porsche.

Sorry!

If you can obtain the name of the previous owner (or if the selling dealer will contact) you may be able to obtain a copy of the invoice or he/she can tell you what was done.

Hi,

I had the same issue when I first got mine. The local Dealer said it was a Privacy issue. I replied: "you're a Car Dealership, not a Doctor, Attorney, or Priest! And we're talking about a Car here, not Erectile Dysfunction!.."

He laughed, but said it was the policy of the Dealership. Just as he said this, he laid the printout on the desk so I could see it. Fortunately, only routine maintenance and a warranty RMS @ 4k mi. Car is now at 25k mi. and dry as a bone...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Yes, Jim, the dealer pulled this on me also. I pointed out that I already knew who the owner was, so there was no privacy invasion at all. Moreover, I did not want any info on the owner, just on the service history.

The silliness some dealers employ!
