Used Porsches sold at OPCs Without Warranty?

[Seeker UK]

Looking at the Porsche used car site and I notice a few cars at the lower price end that are listed w/out the 'Porsche Approved' warranty. What's going on there? Does it mean a warranty is still being provided but it isn't the 2 year comprehensive one?

Any insight gratefully received. Thanks.

They will provide a standard dealer warranty, not the Porsche Approved product. Older cars can be too expensive to get up to Porsche Approved standard.

Porsche warranty can only apply to cars up to 10 years old. So, if the car is over 9 years old you cannot put a 12 month warranty on it.

Do you have any specific examples?

This one

A 2007 (57 plate) Carrera S, 45k on the clock, £35k.

It states 'Porsche Approved' on the Autotrader ad but not on the Porsche used search.

Just an assumption....but Porsche Approved cars now come with 24 months warranty. If it's 8 years old or more then it's not possible to apply a 24 month warranty.

If it's a Porsche Approved car then it should be of a standard to apply the warranty assuming the age allows it. May be worth asking about a 12 month warranty?

The car seems to be an 07 plate so likely beyond 8 years old.

[Magic919]

It's a 57 plate, so not yet.

When I looked at the OPC site it showed 07.

Thanks for the answers.

Seems like if I want an OPC 2 year warranty, I need to spend about £35k or so.

£35k is a lot for a warranty :-) no wonder I said no to it.

Care to expand on that? What did you buy, where from, when and any problems to date?

Cheers.
