I bought a 2009 C4S launch car from a 3rd party and in my case the warranty worked against me.
How you might ask?
a) As the car was a lease return which then got sold to me by a non-Porsche dealer the whole 6 years / 100,000 miles didn't apply.
b) to make things worse, the warranty period started when the car entered the showroom, not when it was finally sold (9 months later). This cost me 9 months worth of warranty :-(
So better check when buying a launch car.

Warranty should kick in when the in service date starts which should be when it is first sold not when the dealer puts it up for sale.

Factory warranty should stick irrespective of who sells the car. CPO of course, does not stick when sold by a non P dealer (does stick if sold privately).
Warranty should kick in when the in service date starts which should be when it is first sold not when the dealer puts it up for sale.
