My extended warranty is expiring soon and I was just wondering if it' still available to get one or that's it. Car is a '99 Cab with 49k on it. I called one dealer and I was told they stop giving extended warranties for cars older than 10 years. One dealer also referred me over to Total shield who would still cover warranty on the car but was expensive; $3200n for a yr. or $4800 for 4 yrs. Do you think it's still advisable to get one, although i'm a bit hesitatnt because of the cost, or do I just eat it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

just bought a 3 year/ 36k EasyCare full exclusionary warranty for 3700 at a local Porsche dealer (for my 03 Carrera with 54k miles). I called every dealer within 100 miles, and that's the best I could get. PM me for details.

 

i got a similar quote from easycare here in NJ

 

Was your car already out of any warranty before you purchased the extended? I don't have warranty anymore and i'm hearing you need an existing warranty in order to purchase an extended warranty.

 

yes, it was out of warranty. You only need to be in-warranty if you want to extend factory warranty. If you go aftermarket, with many plans (such as Fidelity or EasyCare), you don't have to have existing warranty.

 

I purchased mine from the dealer and I was out of warranty when I bought it. I had a PPI done for the policy and got 3 years 36,000.

 

When did you get it and with who? I was told by Rector and Sonnen that they don't offer extended warranties for cars 10 years and older.

 

Got it April 09 at Stevens Creek Porsche, it is through Fidelity, transferrable and prorated refundable if you decide you want out.

 

guys, I called easycare and i got the following info:

stated care = $ 3950 for 3 yrs/36K, $250 deductible

powercare (below) plus
suspensions
steering
electrical
high tech/convenience group - e.g. power steering, oil pumps, etc.


powercare = $ 2877 for 3 yrs/36K. $250 deductible

engine
transmission
drive axles
seals/sealants
taxes/fluids

What do you think? I'm leaning towards powercare since my main objective is the engine and transmission although any other repairs would also be costly...thanks..

 

Which dealer was it? Not allowed to PM as I just joined the forum.
