What Is Porsche Certified Warranty?

Porsche / By

The warranty period starts on the earlier of the first retail purchase date or the first time the vehicle is utilized as a demonstrator, lease vehicle, or company vehicle. The following times are relevant:

  • 50,000 mls. or 4 years (80,000 km) New Vehicle Warranty, which starts on the earlier of the day the vehicle is initially delivered to the initial retail buyer or the day it is first used as a demonstrator, lease vehicle, or company vehicle.
  • Genuine Porsche parts, exchange parts, and accessories that are utilized or sold outside of the scope of warranty work come with a two-year warranty. Unless the repaired or replaced parts are covered exclusively for the balance of this warranty, PCNA-supplied parts that were purchased from and installed by an authorized Porsche dealer at the time of purchase are covered for two years and unlimited kilometers.
  • Please refer to the terms and conditions in the Warranty and Customer Information Booklet for further information on the 12-year Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty.
  • The New Vehicle Limited Warranty will end by months or miles, whichever comes first, and be replaced by a 2-year, unlimited-mile Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty.

How to extend your Porsche warranty’s duration

Simply visit Porsche’s CPO website to locate the closest dealers who have CPO listings to get your hands on a CPO Porsche. A 2019 or 2020 model will be protected for the remainder of the factory warranty as long as it is under the 50,000-mile threshold because the Porsche factory guarantee is valid for 4 years and 50,000 miles. After the manufacturer warranty expires, the CPO warranty will become effective. This is fantastic news since it means that your 2019 CPO Porsche will be insured for four years from the date of purchase.

By the way, until a few years ago, Porsche’s CPO program accepted vehicles with a maximum age of 8 model years and a maximum mileage of 100,000. Those keywords were already miles ahead of competing products. Porsche continues to set the bar high with its current CPO program.

Warranty on Porsche Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) cars

The Porsche certified pre-owned model warranty is really good. You receive an additional two years/unlimited miles of coverage in addition to the remaining term of the new vehicle’s original warranty. For new, pre-owned (with a certification) and used (non-certified) Porsche models, Porsche offers its Vehicle Service Protection Plan. This strategy will be covered in more detail later in the text.

You might have a few options from aftermarket third-party warranties, which can provide more coverage flexibility than Porsche policies, depending on the Porsche model.

Older models are also covered by Porsche CPO

Instead of having you purchase from a non-branded dealer, Porsche genuinely wants to sell you a used model through a Porsche dealer. Because Porsche’s CPO program allows vehicles up to 13 years old and with up to 124,000 miles, we are able to make that claim. Cars with this much “experience” would not be touched by any other brand’s CPO program.

You may utilize the Porsche CPO search tool to find Boxster and Cayman sports cars and Cayenne SUVs starting in the low $30,000 level and much cheaper in certain cases, thanks to the wide range of model years offered. Additionally, it should be simple to locate models of all ages that are considerably below Porsche’s 124,000-mile threshold.

What kind of warranty is Porsche prepared to offer on a vehicle this old? It turns out to be extremely kind. Porsche claims that the CPO warranty is on par with the new car guarantee. The primary distinction is that it offers limitless miles and two years of service.

On more recent Porsches, the CPO coverage begins once the new car warranty has run its course. The Porsche CPO warranty is active from the moment you buy a Porsche that has no new vehicle warranty coverage left.

Porsche Cars North America will replace damaged parts with new or remanufactured ones.

What does a Porsche CPO warranty not cover?

The list of exclusions from the Porsche CPO warranty may seem extensive, yet it is typical compared to other auto warranties. CPO warranties from some automakers have more significant coverage restrictions.

Given that the Porsche CPO program offers vehicles up to 13 years old, it is not unexpected that the guarantee does not cover corrosion or pollution control systems. The remainder of the new car warranty applies to such places. The remaining items on the list are mostly related to routine maintenance or owner negligence.

The following items are just a few instances of what the Porsche CPO warranty does not cover:

  • Road risks or premature wear-related tire damage
  • Failure of components brought on by improper maintenance or the usage of Porsche Cars North America-exclusive components
  • Normal degradation or wear and tear of any component
  • Fuel, lubricant, or other fluid contamination
  • Items of appearance that are not the result of a material or workmanship problem
  • modifications that Porsche Cars N.A. or its authorized dealers have not approved.
  • repairs that are not done correctly by Porsche Cars N.A. or its authorized dealers
  • abuse, mishap, rivalry, or track usage
