pacix:
I am checking regularly the Porsche website to look for a used Boxster GTS that meets my specification. I see that some of the vehicles that the Porsche dealers are selling are “Porsche Approved” but some others not.
Why is that?
Is because the previous owner of the car did not want to pay to get the “approval”? or is it because the car did not pass the inspection to be “approved?
The underlying question is: is it safe to buy a used non-Porsche Approved from a Porsche dealer?
It should be possible to get every car in dealer stock, unless it is modified/tuned, with Approved. You just have to pay for it (I think this is the only difference where Approved is already included and without Approved you need to pay for it extra but I may be wrong). Just ask, there is nothing to lose.
Personally, I would never buy a Porsche from a private person or a non-authorized Porsche dealer because I heard too many bad stories, may they be true or not.
