help w/ carfax - warranty start date

I am looking at a car and I want to know when the warranty start date.

On the carfax, I see November 2004 as a - REGISTRATION EVENT/ RENEWAL (LEASED VEHICLE)

In June 2005 I see Motor Vehicle Dept - TITLE (Title #xxx) with 241 Miles

In December of 2005, I see REGISTRATION EVENT/ RENEWAL...

sooo... does this look like it was leased in Nov of 2004 and the reg paid again in dec 2005, right? Im just confused as why title was reported in June 2005...


Also.... Car was back in dealer inventory July 2006 @ 7500 miles. Problem is the carfax says (COLOR REPORTED AS GREEN) when in fact, it is Arctic Silver. Any cause for concern here???

Car was then Reregistered in 2/2007 @ 9000 miles... am I missing something? or did it take a new owner that long to get it titled....

Now the car is CPO @ around 15K miles... what do you think? too long of a history? too many owners for a 2005 car? or should I not worry since I THINK its covered until November 2010..... or another 2.5 years....

It doesn't matter
get the vin# and ask a Porsche dealer.
if you buy from a Porsche dealer, they should tell you.

There is a section in carfax report that states how much warranty is left. Heres an example from running a report on my car.

Basic Warranty Check Estimated to have 43 months or 49,874 miles remaining. Recalculate warranty
Interested in an extended warranty?
Warranty Active

Get the VIN and call PCNA (1-800-porsche). They will tell you the waranty info if you have the VIN with no hassles.
