Mississauga, Ontario - Porsche has announced an upgrade to its Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program that will now include an enhanced warranty for all CPO vehicles sold in Canada and the United States. 

Effective August 1, 2008, customers who purchase a Certified Pre-Owned Porsche will receive a company-backed limited warranty of two years or 80,000 km, whichever comes first, which mirrors the new-car limited warranty coverage. Additionally, for customers who buy cars with a balance of the new-car limited warranty, the remaining balance will be added to the CPO Limited Warranty coverage. 

Customers will only be responsible for normal wear-and-tear components such as brake pads, wiper blades and regularly-scheduled maintenance, and the package includes 24-hour roadside assistance. 

“This upgrade to the CPO program will add even more value and peace-of-mind for these important customers, many of whom are just entering the brand,” said Kevin Harvey, North America Manager, Pre-Owned Operations. “Our goal is to make the pre-owned experience just as satisfying as the new-car one.” 

The company said that every certified used car undergoes a 111-point inspection and a detailed reconditioning by Porsche-trained tecnicians, whose goal is to bring the car back to new as close as possible.
