Default Whats a Porsche Certification worth?

I mean in value of the deal? $1k?

Buying from a dealer.

Good and bad about it?

Thanks!

IIRC, the dealer cost is about $1600 to add it.

FWIW I was told $1800 when haggling over my car last summer...

I don't expect the CPO to come in really handy... but my thought was that the engine is a $35000 lump... so a CPO would be cheap insurance...

I guess my answer is it is worth "peace of mind" and that is hard to find for $1800 anywhere... legally of course...

When I bought my "3" recently \i had an opportunity to save $2500 and skip the cpo. I paid the extra so obviously it was worth it to me. I think the piece of mind for 2 years on an item as complex and expensive as this makes it a good deal even at $3000. This is part of the reason cars sold through dealers command more money than private sales.

worth it to me. A fricking clip for the spliter is $3.00 and I think they have to drop the motor to replace the coolant tank.
