Give me a call or use our online portal - we can help for sure. Not sure if we ever spoke before, but we've built a strong reputation here and try to make the pricing work for everyone - very simple too, as you'll deal direct with me personally as this is my family-owned dealership.

@irvineboy I've had a couple customers come to me in the same position, and we've been able to beat every price brought to us from Troy... you can reach me at tgibson@highline-autos.com or (855) 924-1333 if you'd like discuss further.

Another strong recommendation for Mike at Steingold. Very responsive and professional in getting me a Platinum policy for my 2017 991.2 coming off CPO.

Can Fidelity Warranty Service be sold to California?

SteingoldVolvoCars

For CA residents, you must purchase from authorized CA dealers. I recommend contacting your local New Car franchise Porsche dealer for recommendations on how to proceed. We can help for residents of all states, with the exception of CA and FL.

Let’s say I buy a 5 year warranty for $5000. If I sell my vehicle in 3 years, I will have 2 years left on the warranty I didn’t use. Will Fidelity refund me the 2 years or $2000 back?

In my case, with 53k miles, there is no diff if I wait until 59k miles. Crossing the 60k mark makes a huge difference, at which point 48 mos coverage costs more than 60 Mos at 59k..

I have 6 mos left on CPO, but I do not put on a lot of miles. Unless I am missing something, it would seem sensible to wait until 3 or fewer months before end of CPO so long as I stay under 60k. Yes, cost could increase 3-6 months from now, but I would also gain 3-6 mos additional coverage.

Yup, you're correct here - mileage is the biggest trigger for pricing. Obviously, things can happen in the backend system for pricing at any moment, but unlikely - historically, pricing is adjusted on the January 01 of each year. You should be in good shape by waiting a few more months, and maxing out the coverage. Up to you, but very likely you'll have the same scenario of offerings/pricing as long as you're under 60k.

Hmm, this is not 100% clear. What does it actually mean when elsewhere Fidelity claims the HV battery is covered.

It makes sense that they will not cover loss of capacity in case where someone says, "after x years my battery now only holds 60% capacity so I think it should be replaced under warranty."

But what happens if the car is 10+ years old and you suddenly get the dreaded U1 4D200 code "Hybrid Warning lamp" and P0A80 "Replace Hybrid Battery Pack". Will Fidelity call that a result of gradual capacity loss.

Maybe the more important question is, has anyone actually had their hybrid HV battery replaced under the Fidelity warranty? While I have heard good things about Fidelity, there are also some not so good where components are clearly listed but then not covered due to the "normal wear and tear" exclusion clause.

Yes, capacity loss is not covered, complete failure is.

I'm not sure the exact payout, but that would make sense if it shook out to something similar.

Created an RL account (after lurking for many years) just to say that dealing with Mike Bernardo at Steingold Volvo was a top notch experience all around. I shopped around for Platinum coverage ('13 991.1 C2S Cab w/ 60k+ miles) and got quotes from all the usual suspects including Michael Jourden @ Mossy, Rebecca Kunz @ Midlothian, Sigve / Emily @ Beaverton, Trenton @ Highline, a local Toyota dealer, and even Fidelity directly. For my parameters, Mike was ultimately able to give me the best deal, with Rebecca and Trenton providing the next best quotes. Having said that, just about everyone mentioned was responsive and friendly, and others may be more competitive on price given different parameters (newer, less mileage, etc.), so my best suggestion is to just shoot them all an email with your VIN and mileage.
