2013 model year, and higher mileage is for sure the reasoning. Perfect example as to why purchasing earlier with lower mileage is advantageous.

I would just leave a gentle reminder for everyone that not all warranties are created equal. These prices are for one of the best in the business, a company that is known to write and pay contracts for at least 20+ years that I am personally aware of.

several others have come and gone..

my .02 cents

Thanks to this thread I just bought two policies from Mike @SteingoldVolvoCars for my 2018 Macan GTS (Platinum 6/60) and for my CPO 2012 Turbo S (Gold 5/60). Mike had the best prices by far and he was great to work with!

Another satisfied customer here. Michael was super easy to deal with and the entire transaction took fewer than 5 minutes.
Good Price and painless process.

So i was told by Michael that my 2018 991.2 GT3 was a bit too "high-line" for them to offer me a quote. What am I missing here?

While likely not true, I feel like i am being punished for being an amateur Rennlister. ;-)

Sadly, it’s true. Some VIN’s do not present any options in the Fidelity Autorates system. Obviously, if we could
help, we would. Apparently the system see’s these high-ticket vehicles as a bit too expensive for extended warranty coverage..

My amateurism has been confirmed! Thank Michael!

Anyone else have any insight would be appreciated!

What? This makes no sense. Why would you not provide a policy on any P car? If it costs more to insure it - reflect that in the price shown to the customer. It's the same with my car. A little higher mileage 'may' imply higher risk. But that (higher risk) was displayed in my quote.
Help me understand.

Exactly our view too, but as soon as the VIN is entered, it immediately returns an error saying "VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE" - something Fidelity must have imbedded in the backend system to not return any options. Apologies, but the system is all we can work with..

Michael,

Can you address the questions regarding "Prorate Refund" in case the warranty is cancelled at any time due to car being sold/crashed/warranty no longer needed etc.

Do we contact you or Fidelity directly?


Thank you

Thank you
If the contract was originally purchased from our dealership, you contact us directly for the cancellation.

Read below for specifics about cancellation from the T/C: CANCELLATION: This Service Contract may be cancelled by YOU at any time during the SERVICE CONTRACT PERIOD. To cancel this Service Contract, contact YOUR Selling Dealer or FWS in writing for instructions. If YOU cancel during the first thirty (30) days, a one hundred percent (100%) refund of the SERVICE CONTRACT PURCHASE PRICE will be made. If YOU cancel after thirty (30) days but within sixty (60) days, a one hundred percent (100%) refund of the SERVICE CONTRACT PURCHASE PRICE will be made, less an administration fee of $50 that FWS will charge and retain. If YOU cancel after sixty (60) days, a Pro-Rata refund of the SERVICE CONTRACT PURCHASE PRICE will be made based upon the greater of the time or mileage expired from the SERVICE CONTRACT PURCHASE DATE less an administration fee of $50 that FWS will charge and retain. In the event of cancellation, YOU authorize the LIENHOLDER to receive any refund amounts. Upon OUR receipt of notification of a total loss or repossession, the Service Contract will be terminated, and all rights and interests to cancel and obtain a refund under the Service Contract will immediately transfer to the LIENHOLDER and the LIENHOLDER will be named sole payee for any refund amounts. The Service Contract is non-cancellable by US except for fraud by YOU, material misrepresentation by YOU, or failure by YOU to pay the SERVICE CONTRACT PURCHASE PRICE. If WE cancel during the first sixty (60) days, WE will refund one hundred percent (100%) of the SERVICE CONTRACT PURCHASE PRICE. If WE cancel after sixty (60) days, refunds will be calculated according to the pro-rata method. No administration fee will be charged if this Service Contract is cancelled by US.
