I am considering to purchase a Porsche Boxster. I want to save some money so I am going with used car still under warranty route. I have searched and I have few options but all of them are out of state form. One is used still 1 year under warranty and another one is CPO (warranty is 1 year plus 2 ye…

CPO means the car is certified to be a used car, nothing else. Dealers take a shot at what they think is a decent car and slap a Certified label on it. I can buy a rubber stamp with certified on it for $10.00 and certify an ice cream sandwich. Read the warranty carefully, if it looks solid that s…

Do a Google search for Porsche independent repair shops or clubs in the city where the vehicle is . Then call and see if they will go make an inspection for you . The club if thee is one will also be able to help . I can’t see a dealer letting the vehicle being taken to a shop with out some deposit …

This would make me nervous without an independent inspection. [image] sam1: Would any dealer even allow their sales rep take care for inspection and spend like 2 hours on that. Since you are (potentially) writing the check to buy the used Boxster, you get to make the rules. If the dealersh…

I’m with Volvo on this one . . . whoever does the inspection for you had better be very familiar with the Porsche brand, Boxster in particular.

Are these off lease cars? It’s hard to imagine a two year old car traded for another car.

Is the warranty good at any Porsche Dealer? Do you have one convenient to you?

Having the CPO warranty by Porsche is good. I have bought quite a few CPO cars. I still inspect them as if I am buying a 10 year used car. If there is a problem present, I don’t want to go back to the dealer and argue with the service department over whether there is a problem or no, who should pay …

Thanks There are not many good options locally. I can buy 2013 Boxster locally vs 2016 CPO (3 years warranty left) out of state for same price. High price issues with Porsche usually are engine leaks or clutch issues. Just because my local trusted mechanic inspected a car does not mean it can’t hav…

[image] sam1: According to Porsche warranty is valid at all Porsche dealerships. So far I never had to use warranty on any car so i am not even sure how does this work? You drive in, describe the problem, and they fix it. Warranty work is completely transparent to you. All the dealer needs to…

If a dealer chooses to conduct business like that without following manufacture guidelines it will cost that dealer a great amount of money in warranty repairs. The burden of warranty repair costs on a CPO vehicle is primarily on the selling dealer.
