I've got just over a 1 year left on my Porsche (2005 997S) factory warranty. I'm starting to look into extended warranty providers since I can't get a Porsche CPO. Vehicle needs to be sold or leased by Porsche to qualify. My local Porsche dealer sells a extended insurance from Fidelity Warranty Services. Their 'Platinum' package covers most items less wear items (ie. brakes, tires, clutch, batteries, etc). The Platinum package covers the car for an additional 3 years up to 70K miles. It has a $100 deductible. It cost approximately $3K and it is transferable.

I did a Google search on Fidelty and saw some customer dissatisfaction regarding claim process/coverage. My dealer claims they're the best and most Porsche dealers sell their services.

So . . . my question is do any of you guys have 'aftermarket' warranty packages and if so can you comment on them and/or provide any insight on this subject.

Thanks . . . . .

 

Stan Alan advertises in Autoweek. I'd check with them... Also, did you Google "Porsche extended warranty"?

Good luck!

 

Do you plan on keeping the car....staying in that area....getting the car serviced at that dealership......or selling the car locally?
If answer is yes to these, then going with the program that the dealer sells is not a totally bad idea. But keep in mind it's someone in Sales that writes it.
So, as a qualifier to that (if you know the Service manager or even a service writer) you might catch them off guard & ask them open ended questions about......... how they like EWs....what kind of things may be misunderstood (not covered), what EW companies they've processed work through & like (you knowing that Fidelity is what has been offered to you.......so Service Dept should name Fidelity is one of the best.

 

Be very careful with the EW, you have to adhere to all the required maintenance and have actual documentation for every service performed. If you don't have them or missed a required service they can deny your claim.
This I know for fact because I use to sell them and almost half of the cost for an EW is comission.
