I read on RL that CPO stayed valid on resale only if a car is sold privately or via a franchised dealer. But how does Porsche really know how a car changed hands?
I have been searching for a car for bit and I have come across several cars that were for sale by non-franchised dealers who claims the CPO will remain valid. One said he is just a broker of sorts who matches seller and buyer, who then deal directly.. I can see how this is a way around the rules.. but the reality is (I think) he has a signed title and just never takes title in his own name. Another dealer said CPO will only go away if a car is traded into a non franchised dealer and sold at a dealer auction. If a car is traded but doesnt go through auction and gets sold off the lot, Porsche wont "know" and hence CPO remains. All seems abit too shadt for me but now I am curious, how do they determine if CPO is valid or not? carfax/autocheck? another way?
thanks.

Best bet, assuming it is truly a Porsche Certified and documented vehicle, is to get the VIN and call 1-800-PORSCHE to find out if the coverage holds.

My understanding is that it only transfers through a private sale. Checking the VIN ith a dealer or PCNA is good advice.
