Porsche Strengthens Certified Pre-Owned Warranty

Beginning August 1st, consumers that purchase a Porsche Certified Pre-Owned vehicle will have a stronger warranty than has previously been offered.

Most information out there touts the extended warranty coverage that Porsche is offering. Actually, the time and mileage coverage is the same as it has been since the program started in June 2003.

The change comes in the parts covered by the new, improved warranty.

The prior parts coverage was structured more like you would see from a service contract.

The new parts coverage mirrors the coverage you would get with the new-vehicle warranty.

Although this is the same as it was prior, here is a rundown on the time and mileage coverage offered with the Porsche Pre-Owned program.

For vehicles certified outside of the new-vehicle warranty, the coverage will be for 2 years or 50,000 miles (80,000 kilometers), whichever comes first, from the time the vehicle was sold as pre-owned.

For vehicles certified during the new vehicle warranty period, the coverage will be for 6 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 kilometers), whichver comes first, from the the original sale of the vehicle.

It’s a nice upgrade and one that will help eliminate any confusion in coverage.
