The Fidelity Platinum Megathread
#181
Update, re: attempt to get extended warranty quotes for a 2016-2017 Cayenne S, non-CPO.....
I heard back from Troy Dietrich in Greenfield, MA. He informed me that he can only sell a Fidelity warranty "sight unseen" if the car is within the original Porsche 4/50 warranty. His email did seem to indicate (not entirely sure) that if I brought a car to his dealership outside of the 4/50 warranty, they might be able to inspect and warranty it.
I also tried the online warranty quote system from Steingold Volvo (Michael Bernardo, which was not pleasant. Very rudimentary, and the system sent me an annoying email afterward telling me I had made "a purchase". 12 hours later I received an email stating that no warranty was available for my car. I also sent Michael Bernardo a direct email with all the specifics asking him to prepare a quote for me. He left me a voicemail referencing the fact that the online system did not work for me.
I'll update more as I hear more.

So I bought a 2013 991.1 S last week. Car has 34,300 miles on the clock.
From the moment I put the deposit on I knew that I'm getting a warranty since it's not a CPO car. Some research on Rennlist and I found the following respected resellers of the warranty:
1. Michael Jordan - mjourdan@mossymotors.com
2. Troy Dietrich - tdietrich@toyotaofgreenfield.com
2. Michael Bernardo - mbernardo1111@gmail.com
4. Sigve Friedle - sigve.friedle@audibeaverton.com
First things first I read so many good things about Michael Jordan, I e-mailed him and got a quote. I asked a few more questions and he patiently answered all of them over the phone. I expected pricing to be the same across the board so when I e-mailed Troy I was surprised to see that his pricing was a little better. The only caveat with Troy is that your car has to have an active manufacturer warranty in order for him to sell you the platinum warranty once the original warranty expires, he can also sell the warranty if you bring the car to his dealership which if my memory serves me right is in Boston. My car did not have an effective warranty and I wasn't about to drive to Boston with it so we couldn't work out a deal. Understanding that there is some wiggle room I contacted Michael Bernardo and Sigve, both of them gave me good offers until eventually I got the best offer from Sigve. It came to the point where he said that he's selling the warranty for $50 above cost.
I ended up paying: $5,379 for 5 years/60k miles/$100 Deductible.
I hope this thread helps new 911 members find the best cost warranty for their car so share your experiences here.

Got mine today through Michael Bernardo as well. Super painless, quick and easy. I feel very relieved now as my factory warranty is expiring in 7/21 and I had no idea what I was going to do initially. Now I can definitely go back to enjoying the car
$3172 for 3yr/36k/250 ded, platinum. 2017 991.2 C2S with 25k miles.
thanks Michael!

So sorry the system acted up for you - due to high volume, browsers can get hung up a bit, and cause errors. Apologies for the system, as we’ll help for sure if we can. Send us a PM to make sure we have the correct VIN, along with exact mileage, and I’ll try it in the backend. And we’ll be sure to apply the RENNLIST promocode discount!

I have now received warranty quotes from MJourdan and MBernardo on a 2016 non CPO Cayenne S with just under 26k miles.
TDietrich advised that an inspection would be required.
SFriedle did not respond to my email.

Just fyi, the Fidelity plat warranty does NOT cover the sport chrono clock (even though it's more than just a regular clock and part of the PCM). Found that out today

Anyone have experience or know if the Fidelity Platinum warranty covers engine motor mounts?
