Indeed a happy ending. Mama Porsche seems to be alot more serious than your dealer who asked for 6000$ for potential labor.
Enjoy your new ride.
As others said, I would pass on the extended insurance ( for now ). But that is just me.

Congrats!! Glad to hear it went in your favor. Can't wait for those pics...and that big *** smile on your face!!
As for the warranty..negotiate that. They always mark that up big time. They owe you something else anyway. You can get a cheaper price on that. You should get that warranty for a bit over 3k. Stand hard or tell them NO and they will come down..they always do. I have an 07 4S no warranty but they offered one for just over 3k. Your call.
Enjoy!

Congratulations! For the warranty I agree you can get it later, but to make sure you aren't missing an opportunity, call Costco auto warranty and a local dealer and see what the cost would be to extend four years now and if the car was three years old with 30,000 and still under warranty. (Might not be able to get that answered, but worth a try).

I got a great phone call this morning from Bob Simon at Bergstrom Porsche. All my fears regarding this ordeal are gone. Porsche is paying 100% parts and labor. I'll pick up my 991S this weekend. Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement. It has been a bit of a stressful week to say the least.
My decision now is that they are offering an extended comprehensive warranty (Nationwide) which will cover my new car for 3 years beyond the manufacturer's 4 year for $4950. Warranty would transfer to new owner if I sold or I could cancel at anytime and be refunded prorated amount. Thoughts? I do plan to keep this car for a while, but I have said that about my last three cars too. I mean it this time

Sorry the issue occurred in the first place, Cutters, but great news on the resolution. Congrats and enjoy the new 991S!
