When you’re looking to upgrade your Westwood, Dedham, and Needham, MA, travels, you have a lot of options. Beyond deciding body style, model, and trim level, you also must choose the type of car—new, pre-owned, or certified pre-owned.
Choosing to drive a Porsche Approved certified pre-owned (CPO) model provides you with additional perks you’re sure to love. To help you learn about the benefits of buying certified pre-owned, the team at Porsche Westwood has created this guide. Let’s get started.
Some drivers may think that pre-owned and certified pre-owned models are one and the same. While they share similarities—like having been owned and operated by at least one other driver—there are some major differences that set these types of cars apart.
For starters, only select models are eligible for the Porsche Approved CPO program.
Porsche Approved CPO Requirements:
These strict criteria help ensure that Porsche Approved CPO models look and operate like they just rolled off the factory line.
Both the appearance of a Porsche and its mechanical components are checked during the multi-point inspection. Paint and upholstery are just a few of the appearance-based features checked during this inspection. A thorough examination of the tech and safety features is also performed.
Some of the mechanical checks include:
A road test is also performed to ensure the vehicle feels its best, and is worthy of the prestigious honor of wearing a Porsche Approved CPO badge.
It’s important to note that only Porsche-trained technicians can perform the multi-point inspection. As individuals who are specially trained to know Porsche vehicles like the back of their hand, they have a firm grasp on how these vehicles should operate.
Only after a Porsche meets all of the requirements will it come with such additional benefits as Porsche 24-Hour Roadside Assistance for 2 years/unlimited mileage, which provides peace of mind while you’re on the go. Under this coverage, things like a battery jump start, emergency fuel delivery, and lockout services are covered 24/7.
On top of Roadside Assistance, another Porsche Approved CPO benefit is 2-Year/Unlimited-Mile Warranty Coverage. This coverage is available after any remaining coverage on the New Vehicle Limited Warranty has expired.
You also have the option to extend the warranty coverage with the CPO +1 Warranty Extension Program. This additional year of coverage kicks in the day your standard 2-Year/Unlimited-Mile Warranty Coverage ends.
As a result, you’ll have up to three years of peace of mind while driving your Porsche.
