Porsche Pre-owned Certified Car Program goes down well with U.S. motorists

Brian Harris Porsche, the leading Porsche dealer in Baton Rouge and New Orleans Louisiana is proud to inform you that the Porsche Approved pre-owned vehicle program has proved to be a great success. This is evident from the fact that over 70% of all the vehicles built by Porsche are still on the road. Apart from the quality of Porsche models, it's the inspection process, warranty coverage and Assistance Program that come standard with the Porsche Approved pre-owned vehicle program that has made it a huge success.

Not all Porsche cars earn the "Porsche Approved" title. Porsche picks only the best cars and does a meticulous 100+-point inspection and rigorous reconditioning process before giving the 'pass' certificate. To be eligible, the vehicle must be no older than 8 years from the original in-service date and have less than 100,000 accumulated miles on the odometer. The program also offers two distinct limited Porsche warranty coverage.

• Limited warranty covers up to 6-years / 100,000-miles - whichever comes first and providing that the vehicle is still under the new car limited warranty.


• Limited warranty that covers 2-years / 50,000-miles - depending on which comes first, based on the date of the sale and to a total of 100,000-miles.

You can also enjoy a roadside assistance program for the duration of the Porsche Approved limited warranty coverage. With this, the difference between a brand new car and a certified pre-owned Porsche has become quite undistinguishable.

The engine paired with a manual six gear transmission takes the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds with a top track speed of 193 mph.

Inside the car, everything is designed around the driver to be within reach. Once you enter the cabin you can find the extensive use of genuine leather and Alcantara and other high-quality materials.

Porsche wins Intelli-Choice's Best Overall CPO Warranty Award

Leave behind all inhibitions and go for a 'Porsche Approved' certified pre-owned vehicle which assures total value for your money. The 'Porsche Approved' tag promises you a new car experience in a certified pre-owned Porsche and also offers two distinct limited warranty coverages. With this, the difference between a brand new car and a certified pre-owned Porsche has become quite indistinguishable.

The Porsche Approved Certified Pre-Owned warranty program has also won Intelli-Choice's best CPO Warranty Awards in the luxury class for 2009. The evaluation considers all aspects of a CPO warranty, including the amount of benefits beyond the new car warranty, total amount of warranty, deductibles, areas covered, and at what point the warranty begins. Porsche offers 6-years and 100,000-miles, which is 2-years and 50,000-miles above and beyond the new car warranty. The Porsche warranty has no deductible, is a true extension of the Porsche new car warranty, and even offers 2-years and 100,000 total miles of coverage for those vehicles purchased that are outside of the warranty.

Not all Porsche cars earn the "Porsche Approved" title. Porsche picks only the best cars and does a meticulous 111-point inspection and rigorous reconditioning process before giving the 'pass' certificate. The Porsche Approved pre-owned vehicles are available only at authorized Porsche dealers and you can find them at Brian Harris Porsche, your leading Porsche dealership in Louisiana.

A Pure Burst of Adrenaline - the redesigned Porsche Boxster

The Boxster's nose and tail have been reshaped and given new headlamps and taillights with the latter converted to faster-reacting light emitting diode (LED) illumination. A wide-mouth air intake has been carved out below the front bumper, as well as newer and bigger rim designs. The standard sound system has been augmented with a five-inch display screen and the unit can now play CDs as well as MP3 computer files.

Elsewhere, changes should add luster to the Boxster's reputation as one of the most competent sports cars around. The Boxster's stability-control system helps prevent a skid or spin, and will now pre-load the brakes when the accelerator pedal is suddenly released (indicative of an emergency-stopping situation) by moving the pads closer to the discs to reduce stopping distances. The system also features Brake Assistant, a program that supplies additional force during emergency stops.

The Boxster gets the added punch of the new 255-horsepower 2.9-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder powerplant, a gain of 10 over last year's 245-horsepower 2.7-liter unit. The Boxster S is powered by a 3.4-liter six-cylinder that produces 310 horsepower, 15 more than the previous 3.4-liter engine.

Both base and S vehicles come with a six-speed manual transmission, while a new seven-speed automated manual gearbox, called Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe, or PDK, replaces the previous six-speed Tiptronic automatic. The paddle-shifted PDK not only lops a couple of tenths of a second off the six-speed-manual Boxster's zero-to-60-mph time, but also reduces overall fuel consumption by up to 16 percent.

Performance, style, and engineering improvements grace the new Boxster and represent true Porsche-style progress.

The Newest Member of the Family - Introducing the Porsche Panamera

The first four-door in the company's 61-year history, the Panamera will come to the U.S. in three forms: the S model, powered by a 400-hp, 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V-8; the 4S model which carries the same engine as the S, but comes with all-wheel; and the Turbo model which carries an all-wheel-drive, twin-turbocharged V-8 engine powering out 500 horses. Both models come with the PDK dual-clutch seven-speed transmission that was recently introduced in the 911.

The Panamera is equipped with a complete collection of Porsche driving aids, including stability control (Porsche Stability Management, or PSM), an adjustable damping system (Porsche Active Suspension Management, or PASM), and an adaptive air suspension with an active anti-roll stability system (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, or PDCC), which is shared with the Cayenne sport-ute.

Just like serious sports cars, the Panamera is equipped with a launch-control system. All models also offer a Start/Stop system, which uses a conventional but higher-capacity starter motor. As soon as the Panamera comes to a stop, the system shuts off the engine, then restarts very softly when the driver lifts his foot off the brake. It's an industry first for V-8 engines and automatic transmissions.

The interior design, technology features and ergonomics is in a class of its own… Inside, the Panamera offers accommodations for four adults. The rear seats are eight-way power-adjustable units that not only recline but also feature adjustable thigh support and powered lumbar support. There are seat heaters and flow-through cooling fans in the bottom cushions and backrests. The Panamera's cockpit and console comes with a sleek design of push button controls and a conveniently placed Navigation screen. Options available to upgrade the Panamera include Bluetooth, Front/Rear Camera Park Assist, Burmester Surround Sound System, and a host of other features and amenities.
