ALex,

Porsche will CPO a car that is 8 years old or less. The question and answer below is from the Porsche web site.

Are all pre-owned Porsche vehicles suitable for the Porsche Approved Certified Pre-owned Program?

Vehicles eligible for inclusion may be current model year and be no older than (8) years old from the original in-service date with less than 100,000 accumulated miles or 160,000 kilometers. In addition the vehicle must pass a stringent 100+ point inspection conducted by our authorized Porsche dealerships. This program excludes Carrera GT.

Wow, if this wasn't RL, I would swear that it was an urban legend. Gotta check snopes

Great find, you'll love it.

You have to check Porsche's website for warranty. They can CPO any Porsche not older than 8 years and this one wasn't older than 8 years because of the in service date,which is after May.

That's a lot of car for that price...a TT...with the GT1 block! Makes me feel like I should trade my 997 CS in for one. Congrats!

3 years from today, which will have a deeper depreciation curve? a 996 TT or a 997.1 CS?

I got it CPO from the Porsche dealer where he originally bought it and serviced it each time. I have all the service records on it. The mileage is 100% accurate.
IT'S UNBELIEVABLE!!!
That's a find we all dream about. Congratulations seems too little to say. In the traditional phrase then: I give you great joy of it.
