CPO report - concerning damage or nothing to worry about?

[Brandinimo]

Hi folks - I'm considering a 2020 CPO 4S. The dealer provided me the CPO report and it had quite a bit of items that had to be fixed/replaced on the car.

- Found abnormal amount of debris in underside of vehicle - removed front and rear under body front and rear wheel liners to remove excess debris
- Driver side rocker panel replaced due to damage
- Right sub frame support plate found damaged - replaced
- Bumper support damaged - replaced
- Underbody panel damaged - replaced
- Both front fender liners damaged - replaced
- bumper lip damged - replaced

Carfax is clean- was this thing in an accident, not reported and then the dealer fixed it all?

I'm not very mechanicaly inclined, so no idea if these are big items or not.

Sounds like the previous owner lived on a dirt road and wasn’t all that conscious of the damage he/she was doing. I would be concerned about accelerated suspension wear. No one talks about it much but shocks and bushings are wear items and they aren’t cheap to replace.

This is an excellent example of why Porsche CPO is so valuable. #1 there is transparency of what was done to the car. #2 Unlike a warranty which fixes something after it’s broken, CPO ensures that the car meets a high standard before it is sold. #3 not all cars can be CPO’d….Porsche itself must also approve. Essentially, if you like the car and the economics work, there is no reason to avoid buying any Porsche CPO car.
