He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about this product offered by Porsche dealers, administered through a 3rd party. (see attached PDF). This is not an extension of any original or supplemental warranty.

Two levels (options): powertrain only and "Platinum". Power train only seemed way too limited for me. I don't see any per incident cost caps or agreement cost caps. In terms of engine replacement for FF issue, I would imagine this is determined by replace vs repair financial analysis done at the dealer. so it might not get replaced. But repair is good enough for me. Tony said this is comprehensive and should cover any mechanical failures with engine and PDK for the things we worry about. Not covering abuse, accidents, lack of oil, etc, the stuff you expect to be excluded basically. Not covering any maintenance or wear items (consumables). Platinum also covers way more than just engine/PDK. Tony said they replaced speakers in a car the other day under this plan. He says their shop loves these plans as do customers who buy them. All dealers in US (don't know about Canada) recognize and work with these plans. Read section 6 "Exclusions" very carefully. Tons of exclusions including failure occurring on a "track".

Just passing on recent learnings here. I have not personally purchased this yet and obviously not made a claim under this plan. ** YMMV ** Do your own research.

So if interested, call your favorite dealer F&I guy with your VIN for a quote. I was quoted $8,150 for 48 mo/48,000 miles for platinum on a 2015 GT3 ($100 deductible) before any haggling.

yes I can buy 6 years of extended warranty but can’t help to think what about after the 6 years 🤔
feels like a ticking time bomb?

FYI, even the Porsche factory warranty, as well as all insurance service contacts excludes repairs for failures that happen on the track

I have never heard of an engine replaced or claim denied under a non-Porsche extended warranty. The policy described herein clearly states the track exclusion.

I suspect dealers simply don't mention that the failure happened on the track...that way they get paid for the repair.
