If you mean "Porsche pre owned"??
Only the dealer can provide this, it is basically 6 years or 100K miles from first in service of the car. I bought my 986 this way and thought it was well worth the money.
Depends on the age of your car, meaning if its still under new car warranty, its a bit diff, outside of new car warranty its like I described.
There is always great piece of mind buying used and Porsche is backing the warranty IMHO

it was my major requirement when shopping for this sweet Porsche.. peace of mind at this price. Someone I know got his 996TT in an accident and the USA bill for the motor was like $40k or higher... CPO Porsche is well worth it.

Having said that, I found it practically useless since workmanship issues aren't covered.....and seems like EVERYTHING is considered a wear item (not covered). Its not a bumper-to-bumper warranty....more like disaster coverage.
For the poster whose car was in an accident.....why didn't insurance cover the damage?

If you buy it private party you can do an in and out at most Porsche dealerships. They can even do the financing for you and have the car CPO'ed. They are motivtated to do this because they can make money on the financing and the CPO. They also might charge you a nominal fee to do it. That is an option at least.
