So does anyone else think CPO is a sham? Is that true it only extend's the factory warranty 1 year and a rediculous 50k miles??? Most of these cars have 12-25k and wouldnt hit the mileage limit on the factory warranty before the years run out. Anyone think they can botch up 75k miles on a TT porsche in a year?

The truth is if you want a CPO car then I would advise you to only look on the Porscheusa.com website and click on used cars (not certified) that will give you all the listings of available cars around the states. It also tells which are CPO'd and as I have found, for an extra 2k most dealers will add a CPO.

Again, if you are serious about doing some research and dont mind reaching out of your comfort zone (i flew to NC from NY) then I think you should be able to find what you are looking for. FYI, a NJ dealer has a CPO'd Arctic silver but it is manual. I was able to get them to 86k before I found a more suitable car for me. Good luck with the search as I know it is really frustrating. One last piece of advice, if you see the car you want, dont wait...these dealers are getting so many calls because of small availability. I almost closed a deal on a well optioned one in PA when I called the next morning the dealer told me it was sold, needless to say then next day I got my dream car

Great advice, thank you! Hope to meet up with you one of these days. I am in Bergen county.

On a side note I have a couple more questions:

1. What are you guys paying for insurance? I called Allstate and found out they don't underwrite 911TT?!?! I am 37yrs old married with fairly clean record

2. Is there anything specific I should look for during my test drive? If I recall the front is very low so i presume that will have been beat up. I am more concerned with any signfical mechanical issues.

Thanks!
