PCM replacement. Labor $883.80, parts $3122.67
Left rear window intermittently won't go back up automatically. Labor $994.28, parts $1447.74 (both sides replaced)
Right side of spoiler does not close fully flush. Labor $1436.18, parts $4047.51
How can something that went through "rigorous evaluation" start breaking in three months. Makes me think they just slapped CPO or extended warranty on it and let Porsche NA handle the fallout.
And while it is good that youre not paying out of pocket for these things, who has to time to deal with this

Just a clarification, this was not a CPO, just a third party extended warranty that I bought.
I was firmly in the self-insure camp until I bought a 911 (2017 C2S). No major issues but in one year of ownership and just 4000 miles, I've had close to $10000 of services and repairs incl. a water pump, dynamic engine mounts and brakes. And labour rates are low here compared to the US. I'm happy to self-insure my Macan S (which I service myself) but I think when CPO warranty is up on the 911, I'll need to extend it for peace-of-mind.
Is a pool of risk to protect individuals against catastrophic loss. An engine or transmission in a 991.1 would consititute a catstrophic loss to me at present so I insure. I have no insurance on my 2023 Bronco. Worst case is a motor and 5k all in for a low mileage junk yard replacement.

because sometimes things just break....without any symptoms or warning before hand. i would classify *most* problems in this category. once in a while, symptoms or signs something is about to go wrong do appear....but for the most part, they just fail outta the blue. *especially* electrical issues. they work fine until they don't. brand new cars break too
sheet happens
Wow, those extended warranty companies must be bankrupt ! I wonder why they are constantly aggressively marketing their insurance ? I once met a guy who collected on an extended warranty on a toaster, he thinks everyone should buy one. Life insurance for some people makes sense in case they are the one in a million to die young. One buys it knowing the insurance company is making a lot of money but you don't care because it is the only way you can protect your family. My rule is don't buy insurance unless the worst outcome would be devastating to you. It's very likely to be money wasted.
The extended warranty companies that are on TV and make spam phone calls are the ones to avoid. There is a reason high end dealership groups across the country only use a couple names, and they are definitely not the ones paying a former Football coach to talk about car repair bills.....

nope...not even close. they make plenty of money for all involved. you will know when they stop making money because they won't be available anymore. they wouldn't be selling them if they weren't making plenty of profit. some companies "blacklist" certain cars. Rovers, exotics, and such. as long as Porsche coverage is still offered, you know for sure they're still making money

exactly. which is also an argument for self-insurance, 'cause that's what the smart money is doing.

labor is crazy! I can replace a PCM in about 20-30 minutes and swap a rear wing in 30-60 mins.
$2300 dollars for 2 hours of labor at most is crazy!
Cost is less of an issue. I just hate someone messing with my vehicles, sort of like letting the fox loose in the hen-house. Plus I know it is done right. I can't believe the cost of labor and the part. I would have fixed it myself, but then I have never bought an extended warranty.
I came across this the other day. I had to chuckle.
Lol - doesn’t apply to me but would be perfect for a friend - can you post the link where I can purchase? Thanks!

The only company I have seen without a blacklist is Freedom Warranty, they obviously have year and milage limits, but we actually made a bespoke policy for a Bugatti customer of ours, it was a very cool experience.
