I recently got into a 2018 Cayenne S. Within a week of purchase, post PPI, I brought it in and it needed $9K in repairs. Really glad I got less car with more warranty. I paid $0. If I had purchased the Turbo/Turbo S I was looking at, I would have been SOL had it needed that amount of work. Though this is my first Porsche (lifelong dream), I always recommend warranty coverage on nice Euro cars. Either way I'd get a PPI. Most of the folks here are far more knowledgeable than me, but I am just coming off of a similar situation. I'd also look at some of the GTS's at Carmax with Max Care. After this experience, can't recommend it enough.

This shouldn't even be a question. You're worried about 12,000 miles? Without further information in regards to what car is in better condition, what color is better, the interior and options, I say CPO. CPO is so valuable for these cars if you don't know how to wrench on them. Heck even if you do know how to wrench, the the cost to repair these things isn't easy on the pocketbook.

As our CPO warranty is ending in another 4 months, it would be great to extend it, but doesn‘t look possible except at the time of purchase. Fidelity may need to be my choice, but I‘d prefer a Porsche warranty.

I have a 2011 958 S I purchased back in 2014 with 40K miles on it. I purchase it for $42K and paid an additional $4700 warranty that covered the car up to 125K miles with a small deductible. It was the best $4700 I ever spend. Never had a major out of pocket repair. At 115K miles my Porsche dealer went through the car while working on a A/C issue and told me what it needed. They billed the insurance company about $14K for a bunch of stuff. They told the insurance inspector I brought the car in for a clunking sound which was front end bushings, noticed a small oil leak and then it led to removal of valve cover gaskets, water pump and most of the front end. While they had it apart they also replaced the starter and I did pay out of pocket for the ground strap as the insurance company would not due to the fact it had not failed but my mechanic assured me to do while it was apart as they had seen them fail and labor to get to it would be over $2K if it failed down the lineNever had another major issue until 165K miles at which I did timing chain guides for $8700. All in all
Price of car with warranty tax and license was under $50K. Add the $8700 for the timing chain issue and today for less than $60 K total I am still driving my Cayenne with 175,000 miles and it looks and runs like new. The warranty at whatever it cost is worth it by far and the only way to buy a used Porsche IMO unless you are a mechanic yourself. Cost of repairs can make even something like climate control issue let alone any engine issue a deal breaker. Buy as much warranty as you can for peace of mind and make sure you have a dealer who will work with you to maximize your coverage when needed.
