Porsche Extends Approved Used Car Warranty

German sportscar manufacturer Porsche announced yesterday its customers will benefit from an extended warranty on the brand’s Approved Used cars to two years. Every Approved Used Porsche has to pass a 111-point check at a Porsche Centre prior to its re-sale. This check is to endorse and underwrite its provenance.

If necessary, the car is re-conditioned with Porsche genuine parts only. The service and ownership history is also verified amongst the checks. Vehicles that pass these checks receive the Porsche Approved seal.

“For many customers, the Approved Used programme for pre-owned Porsche cars is the avenue via which they purchase their first Porsche, and the new two year warranty initiative adds further allure to the prospect of Porsche ownership,” a company statement reads.

According to the manufacturer, the warranty is fully transferable if sold privately or back to a Porsche Centre, and as such can enhance the re-sale value of the car. Combined with the warranty is also a Porsche Assistance package that offers customers Europe-wide cover including road-side recovery, car hire and hotel accommodation where necessary.

“More than two-thirds of all Porsche vehicles ever built are still on the road. The Porsche name therefore stands not only for performance and an unforgettable driving experience, but also long vehicle life. Many Porsche customers appreciate this fact and enjoy their cars for long periods. This new offer of extended cover recognises this and allows owners to continue driving with added peace of mind,” the statement concludes.
