1. Is Porsche warranty on RS only for 4 years and non extendable?
2. What happens if there is an issue with the engine after 4 years? Does one have to pay out of pocket?
3. Another thing that surprised me, not sure if I heard it correctly from my dealer, was that this 4 year warranty does NOT cover the parts which get damaged while tracking the car.

 

You’re literally the dumbest guy

 

^ hahaha..

 

But you’re mentally retarded. If you need to be adopted, let me know.

 

😂 💀

 

Here we go again. the internet where you can say whatever you want

Op is clearly a little bit out there...

I have to say porsche really sucks...they have not handled this RS stop sale well

I ordered a mac artura yesterday

 

To OP:

1. my understanding is the warranty is not extendable. Some dealers sell aftermarket warranties. And Porsche offers CPO on used cars. But I don’t think you can actually extend the Porsche manufacturer warranty.

2. I think losing an engine or transmission out of warranty is the secret dread of all Porsche owners. It’s going to be very very expensive. Porsche does not go out of their way to make it hurt less.

3. Porsche definitely doesn’t cover track damage. They might cover warranty items on a tracked car, or they might not, it seems to vary case by case. This forum has reports of both. Modding the car won’t help.

Personally, I think the expense of repairing these cars is one of the ways Porsche keeps resale values high in the long term. Eventually, they reach a point where they are not worth repairing. Then, the supply gets so low that they are (RS probably goes directly to that category).

That said, if you look on the forums for older models, there are many many people who have enjoyed cars for 20+ years and the engine and trans are going strong.

 

im looking at a 2011 GTS this afternoon...lovely car

 

you can extend warranty

if someone did a simple google search prior to posting we could avoid this thread

but hey I say the same to my wife

doesn’t stop her from texting me asking where the closest starbucks is

ps we all know the OP is not tracking nor will he keep his car through the 4 year warranty.

 

I hope you get lucky with the Mac. The Artura looks really nice! I love the 600LT but never bought it because of the common electric problems they usually have, so I stayed always with Gt3 (actually 992 GT3).
My friend bought last month a brand new Mclaren GT, it has had suspension warnings since the first week of ownership. He took it to the track and got limp mode, overheated engine, suspension message again, etc. He has a turbo S that uses every day and took to the same track. several times with no problem. Some people get lucky with Macs, but be aware that these things happen more than in other cars. Btw The Artura looks fantastic.

 

Just to clarify, I didn’t mean the normal wear and tear but consider while tracking the car suddenly the transmission failure sign comes up. Then can Porsche argue that because this happened during the tracking of the car, then it’s not covered under warranty? If that’s the case, then it’s very strange because this car is meant to be tracked.

 

The language in the warranty allows Porsche to avoid legal liability in this case, but in 99% of cases it will be covered. If your dealer is warning you ahead of time that they won’t cover you, you should find another dealer (at least for service issues).

It is very uncommon for a warranty claim to be denied for track use, unless there was extraordinary abuse or some other extenuating circumstances that make the claim unreasonable.

There is a fair amount of discretion on the part of the dealer and you don’t want a dealer that is telling you they’ll refuse a claim upfront.

 

No problem at all in the case of a PDK if you did all the services, same for the engine. If manual obviously if you have a money shift it will not be covered.

 

That has nothing to do with track use though…

 

a responsible dealer will point a person who asks this question to the warranty book/language … and then give their practical experience .

manufacture is the one who pays or won’t pay the warranty bills…they have that specific language about not covering track issues for a reason .
