CPO vs New
When you want to feel the New England air whipping through your hair, there are few better options than the sporty power of a Porsche. Before you can hit the road properly, however, first you’ll have to consider your options. Will you go with a new model or a certified pre-owned (CPO) model?
If you’re a driver in Westwood, Dedham, Norwood, or Needham, MA, who is curious about which is the right path for you, our team at Porsche Westwood is here to help. Below, you’ll find a helpful guide on CPO vs. new, so you can better decide which fits your needs!
Buying New
When you buy new, the biggest perk is just that: it’s new, untouched, undriven, and with fresh components that have yet to know any wear and tear. You’ll also have the advantage of being equipped with the latest and greatest in terms of available tech, safety, and performance features.
Buying new is also a great way to protect your Porsche. Since you are its first owner, you’ll be able to back it up with a full New Vehicle Limited Warranty for four years and 50,000 miles. This helps to keep you covered if you find your Porsche in need of any services outside of regular wear and tear.
Basically, if you want the peace of mind of being a vehicle’s first owner, then buying new is most likely the right call for you.
Buying CPO
With a certified pre-owned vehicle, the biggest distinction is also right in its name: it is a pre-owned vehicle. This means there was at least one previous owner, and that there may be some miles on the odometer, however, you can count on a CPO vehicle to be in top shape.
This is because every model in the Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Program must meet a certain list of requirements before it can be considered “certified.” These requirements include:
- Must be from the last 13 model years
- Must have fewer than 124,000 miles on the odometer
- Must pass a meticulous, 111-point inspection
- A Vehicle History Report via CarFax and AutoCheck
Depending on when you purchase your CPO vehicle, part of its initial New Vehicle Limited Warranty may still be intact. If that warranty has expired, no worries! Every CPO vehicle comes with its own Porsche Approved Certified Limited Warranty for two years and unlimited miles. We also offer an extra year for this warranty with our CPO + 1 Warranty Extension Program.
