I'm about to check out a CPO 2014C2S tomorrow. Car is white and has PCCB and returned to dealer in NY around the end of March. If original lessee spots this posting I would appreciate a PM to discuss further.
Thanks in advance.

When you look at the car check the phone on PCM. That is how I found the former owner. It had his full first and last name, listing as JohnDoe's I phone. I then googled him, found him on Linked in and sent a PM and sure enough, he was the former owner. Found out a lot and eliminated the need to do a PPI.

Just worth a try.

Is it still necessary to do a PPI if the car is CPO from the dealership? It's still cover under warranty right?

The CPO inspection the dealer did was more in depth than a PPI... bring the SAs a nice bottle of scotch or something and ask to look over the paperwork.

Normally I would be satisfied with the CPO but this car has PCCB and to replace is a $20K job.
Thanks for the comments.

Short answer. Yes if you are risk adverse. No if you can manage possible issues that the dealer just did not bother to document and just CPO'd the car.

Search for a thread "Beverly Hill Porsche" which will make you want to do a PPI. Of course, if you have personally inspected the car, your risks are lower.

Some of us are comfortable taking risks if we get real comfortable with the seller (private) and look carefully at the car. The dealer sometimes buys the car at auction and has no clue about the real history. Warranty coverage helps. But previous body damage not reported on Carfax (Carfax is not fool proof) is hard to determine and you just need to live with that risk.


PPI is insurance. Fairly cheap insurance.

I would never reply on CPO... NEVER!! This has been discussed before and the consensus, which I agree, is a PPI should be performed regardless of CPO status.

Here's the thread referenced by mjsporsche:

You can read for yourself how one particular dealer (Porsche of Beverly Hills) sold a "perfect" CPO car and then treated the customer in the aftermath.

Personally, I would get a PPI done on any car. It wouldn't matter if the dealer doing the CPO was Mother Theresa Porsche.
