For what it's worth, you can get a CPO on your later model Porsche with some dealers (my selling dealer will do this; 3 Florida dealers have just laughed at me) if you go to a lot of trouble; you have to "sell" the car to the dealer then "buy" it back. I'm looking at a ballpark charge (from the General Manager) of $2,000 plus the cost of any non-warranty repairs, but this is nowhere near firm yet. I'd guess that they'd want to make at least $1,000 for their time and paperwork which would mean that Porsche NA was getting a grand for the extension.

Why not just take the time to make some friends in service ? When you are a good customer and considerate of their feelings .. they will remember you .
Everything is negotiable . You get a 2K CPO on your car ? Let us all know where because a group buy would generate a lot of business to them .
As for the dealerships who "laughed" --I think that's the more accurate indicator.

2K is dreamland . It will cost more like 5K by the time you are done .

I agree but it's irrelevant to the conversation, which is the amount of money the dealership has in the car. Even if there is "shared interest" among profit centers within a dealership, each of them would add to the cost and expected return. Otherwise, I'll just buy the car from the CPO department and only pay for the warranty, and not the car itself, since a different profit center paid that part of the cost! :-)

[quote=dcentric;2326721]............. a CPO is with any authorized Porsche dealership, not just the one you buy it from.............. end quote
You hit the nail on the head. It's amazing how many extended warranties, even from 'reputable' companies, are virtually worthless away from the selling dealer. This is stated in the fine print of some of the contracts - you have to return the vehicle to the selling dealer except in 'an extreme emergency'. Porsche of Orlando wanted over $6,ooo for a "Platinum" package from whomever's product they sell; no wonder they were not interested in a possible CPO at 1/3 of that. Of course I now won't be shopping there for my next Porsche either.

My 997S, Black Betty, is available. It's been babied in 6speedonline hands since new and is pretty well known here. It's a $300 detail twice a year and stored under a custom-fit cover level of car.
EDIT: Just noticed the sticky so I removed my link. Just PM me if you want more info.
Good luck finding the right car,
--Pete
