I understand why people buy these, but I don't do it. Warranty companies have to make money. They have actuaries that do the math to figure out how much they can sell you these things & still clear a profit. I'll take my chances against my PDK grenading.

I can see your point but I went the other way with my old 997 C4S. I was lucky the car had very low miles 26K and the platinum warranty was about $3K for 3 years of coverage. I was actually going to get the basic Fidelity warranty but the delta between base and Platinum was not huge. I was really only concerned with bore scoring that could lead to a $30K or more repair bill, not small ticket items. A $30K bill on a $50K car was not something I was interested in dealing with. I was happy to part with $3K though for peace of mind.

As it turned out I never had to use the policy. The big difference for me was selling an 11 year old car with 2.5 year/30K mile warranty that is fully transferable. This was a huge benefit when selling and the buyer was very happy to have the coverage. If he did not want the policy it had cash value.

I used MJ and he was great to work with.

I can also beat Mike Jourdan price. If you are serious about purchasing PM me for the information.

‘This is the same as any other type of insurance, you are buying peace of mind. I rather have it and not need it than need it and not having it.

Like I said, I get it. I'm not losing any sleep over it. If I couldn't pay to fix it if it did break, maybe I'd have a different outlook. Everyone has a different outlook on this stuff.

is everyone here who bought an extended warranty thru Fidelity going w Platinum? The lowest tier thru platinum all have powertrain coverage. Main concern is the PDK failure. thanks

I did, the price differential wasn't that much, I want to make sure everything is covered.

With all this “milestone” talk, I do have a data point....there is a 30% jump in cost at 45k miles at Fidelity (all via Mike Jourdain). I purchased my 3/36k, Platinum, $250 deductible, $3700 (rounded) with 3 days left on my factory warranty @ 43,924 miles on the ODO.

Milestone mileage from my fidelity experience are 10k and 25k. And 45k has just been added by socal c2s.
I'll get the 6yr for my 911 before 10k and it's at <9k now. It'll only give me 5yrs past factory but the hike after 10k is worth it. The Macan before 25k would be double the 911 cost so that money goes into a repair fund. With the quantity of Macans around, I'm expecting cheaper repairs from a wider choice of vendors.

I got my Fidelity Platinum for my 991.1 C2 at 21K miles for $3,600. 6 years/60K. I must have did good working on finding that price as it's maybe the "cheapest" I've seen. Amazing value, regardless of whether it's used.

From who?

I don't want to put their info out publicly just out of respect (not sure if they'd be pro or against) but PM me and I'll send a reference.

Thanks, PM sent. I have been referring people to Jordon for almost 20 years but when it comes to saving money I have no favorites.

If the 7MT and PDK are fundamentally the same wouldn’t the same challenge face the 7MT as well depending on the failure?

Sent you a PM as well. Thanks
