Porsche fights repair cost concerns with big warranty
 

The slumping American economy has hit the domestic companies hard, but with less disposable income in a questionable economic market, high end companies are being hit as well. One of the biggest concern with buying a “foreign luxury car” has been the high price of repairs, but with the recent amendment to their Certified Pre-Owned vehicle plan, used Porsche buyers will have a few years worth of peace of mind.

The new plan for the Certified Pre-Owned Porsches now covers 2 years or 50,000 miles, and that covers all non-wear items (tires, brakes, clutches, scheduled maintenance are still the owners responsibility). The current coverage on all new Porsche models is a 4 year/50,000 mile, and if the CPO Porsche that someone purchases has some of the original warranty remaining, the 2 year/50,000 mile CPO warranty is added onto the existing coverage.

Porsches Pre-Owned sales have been growing gradually over the past few years, and with this recent announcement of the increased warranty coverage, the company expects CPO sales to continue to increase substantially. While it is likely that competitors will be quick to follow suit, BMW has taken a different approach to things with their bumper-to-bumper maintenance coverage, which includes virtually everything on the vehicle for the first few years, and that program also had a significant impact on sales and leases.

Cpo:
 

This will certainly offer first-time porsche buyers a little piece of mind. however, have heard that said warranties represent one of the biggest profit margins for dealers. any idea of what these 2 yr warranties will cost -- as this should be weighed against the normal cost of repairs when considering purchase?

I hope this is the right place to post
 

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post. I am new to Porsche's and to this forum. Ive read that maintenance is very expensive for Porsche's, but Ive never heard how much more expensive it is. Is it 2 or 3 times more to repair than an average car? I am looking into buying a Porsche 944. Thank you in advance for your reply.

It's all relative: what is expensive? I think if you are worried about it, the answer is: too much, though. Keeping an older high mileage Porsche running is expensive compared to, say, keeping a Pontiac Solstice running.

A good general rule in my experience is that the cost of maintenance is about proportional to the relative cost of the car: a base Carrera costs about 2-3 times what a Pontiac sky costs, so assume it will cost about 2-3 times as much for service and maintenance. A PorscheTurbo costs about twice what a base Carrera does - it will cost roughly that much more in maintenance. The rule doesn't apply just to Porsches, either. My F430 costs about twice what a Carrera 4S goes for and i assume it will cost about twice as much to maintain.

You are correct. A "normal" person -- someone with average income and inclination to spend on cars -- can't afford maintenance on a Porsche. But then they aren't aimed at normal cars so it works out.

Good day all. Please excuse my ingnorance, I am new to the whole forum thing. I have a 997 4S and ABSOILUTLY LOVE IT. I wanted tohave a place to share my questions, issues and excitment for the brand.

I have not had really any issues with repairs as of yet but im sure it won't be cheap.

Actually, Porsche repair costs are pretty reasonable, considering everything, compared to some.

Most cars come with some tax on, if this is the case, then you have no worries as the tax goes with the car, not the person. so it will not need taxing again until it runs out. if it is new it will have a years tax arranged by your dealer.

According to me Post Your Questions And Comments on any of Porsche's many models..

Choosing a Porsche
 

I am looking to purchase my first Porsche and wondering about the reliability of these cars. Which years or models to avoid, etc. I like the Carrera hardtops over the Boxters. I see a lot more used Boxters listed than Carreras. I don't want the convertible models and would prefer a 6 sp to auto. Does anyone have suggestions on the models I should look at? I'm in Vegas but looking at the LA market cuz there are so many more cars available. Looking to get something around vintage 99-02. Is there a certain mileage over which I should avoid? I see lots of them around the 60-100k range.
What would an additional warranty cost and do they even sell them for Porsches that old?
Thanks again,
Peter

Your automatic software is so stupid. Your's should be smart like mine.

But you are girly-boy programmers, unworthy of real respect.

Your falseness is so transparent.

all the costs of repairing are very cheep i have agreed about your terms and condition and your offer of big time warranty is very attractive Sales thanks for sharing this informative data

porsche offer for repair with big warranty it is very good news for socially Free LGBT Online Social Network all the persons would be happy to see this post because it is all about the benefit for the people

ya its true i cant afford for the repair or maintain charges.

Porsche has more racing victories than any other company by a huge margin ranging from the dakar rallies to hill climbs to the 24hours of lemans (16!) times.

mustangs are straight line only budget "sports cars." Porsches are track ready, high end sports cars. The 911 got "sports car of the centrury" from CAR, and is considered the benchmark for all sports cars for a reason.

Hello people, awesome to see everyone here. I am also new, and having excellent fun out here. Wish to see u people again in this community.

Hi Guys!
 

Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and the rules.
However I found this thread to be the last updated one.

Chipping in my query:


Planning to buy a Cayman S or an M3 within the next few years(on a savings mode I am now). Wanted to ask one thing-CAN THE HOOD OF THE CAYMAN S OR THE M3 BE SEEN FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT? I AM 5'8.
If yes, then can somebody please upload a pic for the same?

It gives me more pleasure and confidence if I can see the HOOD of the car.:)

Hello,I am new to Porsche's and to this forum. I have read that maintenance is very expensive for Porsche's, so it is better to have an insurance for the safer side

yes, A "normal" person -- someone with average income and inclination to spend on cars -- can't afford maintenance on a Porsche. most of us are normal people. we can not buy good cars. even we can the maintenance is so high that good car will become the bad one
