I put a deposit on a C4s cab thats certified, its an 09 for a daily. It has 34K on it.

How reliable is this dealer and its staff with CPO cars and no shortcuts?

Does anyone know how long the clutches last on 2009 C4S if driven well?

What are the major services on these cars between 0-50K miles?

 

Going to do a PPI?

 

Get a PPI. There are items like the clutch that will not be covered by the CPO. Even though it's certified ask for a copy of the DME scan. Also, ask if they can provide the service history on the car. Make sure that all service is up to date.

The clutch should last a long time on a properly driven Carrera. I believe there was a thread on here not long ago where the owner had to replace a clutch with low miles.

 

Can a PPI detect clutch wear?

 

Also, I am buying the car from a dealer? still PPI elsewhere?

 

I don't have the experience on a Porsche yet, but I would most certainly get a PPI done by a reputable Porsche shop other than the dealer from which you will buy.

For me, there are two Porsche dealers in the area. However I have researched a couple known and well regarded Porsche shops where I will eventually take the prospect car to for PPI.

 

I bought my CPO Cayman from them...car checked out perfectly. Salesman/manager were a pleaure to work with. I flew down from DC..they picked me up a new Audi Q7 at the airport, I looked over the car, exactly as described and drove home. Good luck!
