Nice! You're going to love it. The C8 is new, capable, and flashy, but it's not a Porsche. You won't regret it!

 

Sweet!!! When you get her, hop in, drive her gently till oil temp is 180+ degrees, head for some curvy roads, keep her revs 4000+ taking those curvy roads at 1+ g’s and you’ll have a grin on your face that will last for a week, Congrats.

 

You did well! Nothing against Vettes - I owned two previously for years and they are great cars - but you will have a blast in the 991! Congrats!

 

Turbo wheels and duck bill are a nice addition. Congrats.

 

Your mom did not raise no dummy.

 

So sorry to be the bearer of bad news. A few things to consider: (i) the 991 is a crazy reliable car, and aside from some fluke, you likely wont need the CPO, (ii) the dealer should have known better and you should be able to explain the situation and return the car, or get a discount, (iii) it looks like you haven't accepted delivery and I'd be willing to bet the transaction isn't finalized until that happens. If the dealer gives you a hard time on points (ii) and (iii), get a lawyer involved - I'm sure there are consequences for the dealer's license if he misrepresented the warranty status to the public to make a sale, particularly if that was a material point of the negotiation (that would be fraud). I'd also avoid any temptation to register the transfer of the car as a private party deal with Porsche, which could have worse consequences than the CPO not paying out. Send me a PM if you want to brainstorm a bit, but so long as you got the car inspected and are happy with the result, I'd say nothing to worry about and enjoy the 911.

 

Beautiful car !!!

 

Perhaps in professional hands the vette may be faster around a track and in a drag race but you ended up with way more car. Drive them both and i would he interested to see down the road if you agree.

 

I've driven the new Vette.and as always a lot of car for the money. I'm a 3 pedal guy so whether it's a 911, Vette or anything else i don't like the "clutchless" models. It will be interesting to see what the Vette performance models offer. My guess is the manual tranny will at some point resurface.

 

Same here, which is why I have a 911...manuals are getting harder to come by each year.

 

Duck for the win! Gorgeous car and great call on the 991.1! That NA engine is a keeper for sure! That is the perfect car for driving around western Mass, VT and NH during the fall foliage spectacular. Enjoy!

 

No doubt the C8 is a step up from previous GM stuff. When the C5 came out I found myself in a similar place as the OP. The media ( and especially GM) said over and over to all that would listen that the new C5 was a game changer. Equal to or greater than the P cars. A couple of years go by, and the C5 FRC ( fixed roof coupe ) arrived and I bought one. I remember all to well. That was 1999 and the Porsche dealer had a C2s left over from ‘96 that had been a dealer demo. I went with the C5. Epic mistake I’ll never forgive myself for.

OP, you made a good decision I’d wager.

Congratulations on obtaining a great, naturally aspirated, beast!

 

Congrats!

As others have mentioned, CPO warranties are not transferable unless done via private-party sale, but I have heard of non-Porsche-dealer transactions "slipping through PCNA's cracks".

Take a run on the Kancamagus Highway in NH, and then join the PCA for some track/auto-x time (if COVID ever passes) so you can learn how to handle the 911. It is funny how 400HP has become "normal", or even underpowered for a sports car, but you can quickly get into trouble if you are not used to it
