Hey guys, I am in the process of trying to get some quotes. A bit conflicted that the engine is out of the mix, but yet I will probably pay full price anyway. BTW, are these warranties for 6 years/60,000 miles from today onward, or do they start with the in-service date? From comments it appears to be from the day you get it.

Warranty starts from the time u get it. It is less expensive the earlier in the factory warranty u get it. For example, I got my 6 yr/60 k warranty when my car was 1 year old, so I got an extra 3 years of warranty. If u pick Total Care, u get wheel and tire coverage from the beginning, which I used already (nails in tires)

Tried to read the whole thread, may have missed a few points and posts. And I may just be a noob, but trying to understand what you guys are trying to cover by buying a warranty on a 2015 GT3. Outside of a critical engine failure, which is covered for ages, I do not see anything that is worth paying 6-7k up front. Please enlighten me.
Another point, are there any 997 gt3 owners that wished they purchased warranty on their cars looking back?

Generally I have found with Easy Care after covering a certain amount of claims on our high cost of repair cars they push back when the claims throw them
In a loss position relative to premium paid. You really have to push hard above their first contact customer service to have them honor your claims.

The engine is covered, which leaves the PDK and quite a few expensive parts. The issue has really been that Porsche doesn’t service the PDK, but only replaces them for around $20k. But i am reading that Porsche is now servicing them, which sounds a lot better. I would not pay $7k for a warranty (with the chance of a big repair not being covered) if the PDK can be serviced. I wouldn’t pay $7k regardless. For $3-4k i would listen.

I pay insurance on my life, my cars, my homes (and even my watches), have been doing so for a long time without filing a claim. They are eagerly collecting the annual and semi-annual premiums, so if God forbid a claim needs to be filed boy do I expect to be made whole without a peep or pushback because the cost could exceed the premiums collected.

I figured that I didn’t want to risk items such as motor or pdk for the gt3 (I bought it before the extended motor warranty from Porsche was provided). I would still buy it if I had to do it again, as PDK, PCM and other items are $$. In addition, the tire coverage has already saved me $1k. Finally, if u sell your car before the easy care warranty expires, u can get a big chuck of your money back on the resale value of your car.
