Hello, I'm new to this forum and felt like this would be a great place to ask some questions. I am considering buying a 2019 Cayenne base from a dealer in Southern California. It is a low mileage car and the pics look great it is Porsche Certified Pre-Owned. I would likely be buying this car remotely without laying hands on it. Am I right to trust the CPO designation? Could it possibly be a lemon return, or is there any worry re damage from wildfires out there. SA says no on both. Am I being paranoid? For a little background, I am in Louisiana, I've driven 2019's here, but the local dealer doesn't have any certified cars that meed my buying criteria. I realize I need to flexible on a used car, but the ones local just don't quite tick enough of my boxes. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If you really like the car maybe look into pre purchase inspection. Wild fires here won't affect the cars unless its burnt to the ground. I would look at carfax and ask dealer for maintenance record. If they look good and the price is right I would pull the trigger.

PPI is the way to go.
CPO is a joke. No guarantee whatsoever about the car's past. They certify cars with aftermarket crap, previously crashed or track cars without thinking twice about it.

Any recommendation on one of the national companies to go with for PPI - or generally how to go about this? I've bought new cars remotely, but this would be my first toe dip into the pool of remote buying for a used one.

There shouldn't be an issue getting a PPI from an indy shop, plenty of great guys in SoCal that can handle it for you. Take a look in the 911 forum, there's no shortage.

Best of luck, I am in the market for a new body Cayenne as well...leaning towards a GTS.
