How can I tell if my Porsche is CPO?
Hi all - finally got delivery of my 2011 GTS Cab.
It came with two "Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles" folders. One labeled Customer Information and the other Inspection Checklist.
I was pretty certain the car was NOT CPO but then I received these with the car. Inside the inspection checklist folder is a 2 page checklist that was completed and signed.
The Customer Information folder has owner cards and the CPO Owners manual but the "Statement of Certification" is not filled out nor signed. I guess it's safe to assume it's not CPO, correct? Why would they include this? Is it marketing to get me to buy the CPO?
The car has 9500 miles and over 4 years left of original warranty so probably wouldn't buy the CPO if it didn't have it already. But would be good to know.

Dealers often put a CPO on cars still under factory warranty, thus extending the factory warranty by another 2 years/24k miles. My current car was CPO'd before the factory warranty expired, but it was a major selling feature that attracted me to the car.

Here’s how the warranty works: If
the qualifying Porsche Approved
vehicle is purchased
the qualifying Porsche Approved
vehicle is purchased
while still
under the New-Vehicle Limited
Warranty, the coverage is up
to 6 years, or a cumulative
100,000 miles, from the original
in-service date (whichever occurs
under the New-Vehicle Limited
Warranty, the coverage is up
to 6 years, or a cumulative
100,000 miles, from the original
in-service date (whichever occurs
first).

It is some comfort...but I'm likely to hit under 40,000 miles at the end of 6 years - I'm at 27,000 now.

My CPO expired 2 weeks ago with 34.5k. I purchased another 4 years through Fidelity. Be aware that premiums increase with mileage. Luckily I avoided an increase that would have kicked in at 35k.

Some do, some don't. Best way is to have dealer check VIN in the computer.
