I paid $2878 for it and though I haven't used it yet I would not be without it based on earlier Porsches.

The price I paid was supposed to be dead cost because the dealer f*cked me around.

Michael Jordan sells warrantees for 45% off retail from the quote he gave me on my 2012 GTS and I think he ends up making 20%. from what I figure. Frankly, that's a good deal.

I've never bought a service contract ever on any car including numerous Ferraris. On a Porsche 911 at the prices we can get them for I'd do it. Esp if you have a PDK. Mine failed at 9877 miles. In fact the new 991 7 speed manual trans may be as impossible to service as the PDK since they are the same box more or less, correct?

As to going to the dealer for Fidelity service...if it's a big repair I'd take it to the dealer but on one of my claims they said their shop rates were higher than what Fidelity pays.....typical Porsche dealer bullcrap money-grab. I said "You sell this warranty as a $100 deductible now you want to try to screw me?" They backed off. Dealers are so friggin' dishonest.

As another point:

I have a 2012 GTS w/ 20,485 miles out of warranty. On 6/14/19 I bought a 6 year 60k mile warranty with a $250 deductible. The retail price was $7880, Michael quoted me $4334, and I paid $3827. But the dealer would have normally required inspection and frankly, I think they cut me some slack on price because of my service experience.

I think I read somewhere on the forums about another dealer...I think they are a Toyota dealer....selling warrantees,

i am contacting Michael Jourdan to see if he can help.

thanks everyone for the information , this has been very helpful.

To my surprise he said that Porsche USA does in fact offer factory warranty extensions, bumper-to-bumper for my car. I said "true factor warranty"...him, "yes, factory Porsche CPO extended warranty." I asked him to email me the Porsche literature on the extended coverage and it said "Quality Shield Protection Plan." There is no mention of it being directly from Porsche and it reads like the Fidelity extended warranty. Has anyone else heard of this warranty extension from Porsche? Buying direct from Porsche cuts out the middle man and would be a lot better if truly a Porsche extension. It seems unlikely at this point. Thanks for the help.

I made a claim 4 weeks after purchasing for my rear wing deflector that was not sitting properly. I thought it would be a small fix but ended up being a 4K repair. glad I had the warranty which basically paid for itself with one fix.

However it's very expensive (like 2x) the Fidelity Platinum, and only covers a couple extra things that Fidelity doesn't. The dealer said he always just recommends going with the Fidelity Platinum. Also, he said that the Factory Extended Warranty is only "cheap" if you buy it on day 0 when you take delivery of the car, otherwise it's super expensive to add it later.

He then went on to say it isn't bumper to bumper and only excludes stuff the factory warranty excludes. This is not true since it did exclude items my factory Porsche warranty covered under the 2 year CPO. The final blow was when he said after calling around, this extended warranty would not apply to my car since it would only apply if I was still under the original factory warranty. All of that information was a lot different from what he said to me on the phone the day earlier. Given I have > 40,000 miles on my car, and it's a 2012 on the last leg of a CPO Porsche warranty I would highly desire a true factory Porsche extended warranty. Cost wise, from what I understand, when you buy the warranty has a big impact on its cost. For me, Fidelity is quoting ~ $9,000 for the $250 deductible and ~$7200 for the $500 deductible. Both are for the Platinum plans. Is this what others are being quoted for 2012/2013 Carrera S's? My original MSRP was around $120K. I know if I had purchased the extended warranty under the original factory warranty it would be a lot less. Thanks for the help.
