Not a fan of those. You wind up overpaying, plus, I don't maintain my cars per Porsche's schedule. I do things more often and sooner than required.
There's not much required anyways. Oil changes. A few filters. Brake fluid flushes. Pretty easy to maintain.

depends…..what are they charging? what does it cover?
frankly, up to 30000 miles it's just three oil changes, cabin filters changed and perhaps some washer fluid and windshield wipers….we're talking about $300 in oil, $125 in oil filters, $60 for the wipers and $80 for the cabin filters…. i'm pushing 60 and I'm still turning wrenches on this beast and on my MGB. that said, I just got a $50 certificate for a service and am taking it to the dealer to change the oil and filter on Friday. they will reset the service interval thing too.
after two years, change the brake fluid…40000 miles, now that's an issue as the plugs and air filters will be changed and the bumper has to come off...

I don't know the price, or what it covers, or for how long. That's why I'm asking before the dealer hits me.
I thought it might be a PNA thing. but now it sounds like it's a dealer specific thing. You buy from a dealer and can only get the service from that dealer?
On a side note, I'm also surprised there isn't an extended warranty from PNA.

I haven't done well with third-party plans. I wish PNA would offer extended warranties.

That^^ is a great idea. I am going to start doing the same thing. Although, 3 of the last 4 cars I purchased were long distance deals any way.

My dealer didn't even offer, but I asked and he kind of rolled his eyes and showed me the plan, seeming to know I wouldn't be interested. He was right. Pay almost full price in advance versus just PAYG.
