My 2009 Porsche runs out next year and I would consider keeping it if I could purchase the CPO warranty. Thanks and congrats on the decision.

FWIW, when I purchased my '09 off-lease, I was told that I could CPO the car under the following two scenarios:

At lease end
By "selling" the car to the dealer and then "buying" it back

Outside of lease-end, I do not think you can typically have the car CPO'd without the dealer taking possession. I have some mods and I would have been required to return the car to stock for the CPO, so it was not worth the cost/hassle. I think the cost was about $7K but I do not remember for certain.
