Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

There are also extended warranties, but I don't know as much about that -- if you're buying from a dealer, they have a Porsche Certified program to provide extended warranties on used cars, but I don't think they certify every used car they sell.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I might be getting a 02 or 03 996 next week What is the warranty of a 03 996? Is it transferable? Will a ppi find evidence if theres a RMS problem? Thanks Guys

POST 2Original post

4 years or 60 K miles. The warranty comes with the car and not associated with the owner. Servicing dealer should provide you with list of repairs and car history.

POST 3Original post

Basic new car factory warranty from Porsche is 4 years/50,000 miles (I think? Gery may be right). Yes, it's transferable - it goes with the car. There are also extended warranties, but I don't know as much about that -- if you're buying from a dealer, they have a Porsche Certified program to provide extended warranties on used cars, but I don't think they certify every used car they sell. If RMS is leaking, the PPI should spot it, and it's covered as long as the car is under warranty. But that doesn't tell you if it leaked in the past (ask for service records), or if it will leak in the future (crystal ball?). Good luck!
