I've been searching through threads and couldnt find this specific answer? I am interested to add Fidelity to a 2013 C2S however the original warranty has expired. I was about to head out to buy the car, however decided I want to add some type of warranty as its my first 911.

Self fund your own warranty. How much does Fidelity want? About $4-5,000?? Take that same amount and put in your sock drawer. Don't touch it, unless you have unscheduled repairs. Not regular maintenance. I'd bet you have money left over for your next 911 deposit.

There are no less than 5 threads for just 2017 with 'warranty" in the title for the 991 Forum:

Here's one of them to get you started:

Thanks guys. I saw those threads, but I didnt see a confirmation that I can add Fidelity, etc to a 911 with no existing warranty. The guys posting had cars with warranties about to expire.

Big big makeups by sale people for these. If you ever call about one they will never stop calling you (which is how you know the markup is too lucrative).

Go to a" Nissan" dealer and see if their F&I guy will sell you the same or similar one your local Porsche dealer will accept. Their mark-ups are a lot more reasonable given the clientele. While many companies only sell through dealers, any dealer can sell for any car.

I did this for tire/wheel insurance from EasyCare on my wife's Mercedes and got the same 3 year policy MB wanted to sell me for $700 , less than 1/2 the $1,800 MB wanted. Paid for itself on her low profile 550CLS 2 x over

I have had only one extended warrenty. I cannot remember if it was on one of my Porsches or Audis. Nevertheless, the AC perished after my factory warrenty. As I remember, the replacement of the AC cost $1600 and the warrenty (in those days) cost $2500. I never had any other claims on the warrenty. I would only take tire/wheel warrenty now. Please make a judgment for yourself. I would only recommend a tire/wheel warrenty.

I just replaced a transmission under CPO, thank goodness I got the CPO Replaced the clutch on my dime while they were there, they charged me one hour of labor for the clutch.

Exactly ... it's insurance. If you want the peace of mind that you know exactly what owning the car is going to cost you over a set period, then you pay up. Chances are you won't face a $5000-10,000 repair, but you might. If an unexpected repair like that won't break the bank, live without the insurance, assuming the service history indicates it's not a problem car.

However ... it is well worth the time to call your local service advisor or independent shop and ask them which aftermarket warranty they have had good experiences with. Some make you pay first then reimburse, some pay the shop directly, some you have to fight tooth and nail over every little repair, and the shop is not going to want to deal with that on your behalf.

And, always get a warranty that details what it does *not* cover, not what it does cover ... because when they detail what they DO cover everything else that breaks they will NOT cover. You can bet that something expensive will be turned down because it's not listed.
