Certified Porsche - What does it really mean?

[Brucelee]

According to my local service manager:

The CPO warranty is NOT identical to the new car warranty but it is close. He has a CPO specific written list of items that is covered by the CPO that differs from the same list for the new car warranty.


He also indicated that he thought sales had a written summary of the warranty but he had not seen it directly.

The Extended warranty that is sold when a Porsche is new is NOT underwritten by Porsche and therefore varies by the warranty company in terms of coverages.

Interesting!

I received my Certified Pre-owned Warrantee from Porsche North America in the mail today packaged in a "box". The warrantee is 6yrs/100,000K bumper to bumper excluding wear items - identical to the new car warrantee!! With it comes the Road Side Assistance as a companion to the warrantee, the obligatory book of dealers, and the gift catalogue. Needless to say - I'm releived and very satisfied.

I am glad that you received something in writing, which makes you in the minority.

When you say that it is identical to the new car warranty, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

Does it say that in your warranty package or did you do a side by side comparison of the language.

I ask this because the local service manager would disagree with you on this point.

Interesting.

Very comprehensive warranty - but I didn't do a side by side comparison. Only exclusions appear to be wear items eg. tires, brakes, glass, etc. Are you looking for any particular differences? I'd be happy to do a comparison.

I think we have had so many questions that the side by side would be a great service to folks!

I think we would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks
