My local dealer suggested Total Shield Plan for 4 years at $3,881 which covers almost like the factory warranty. But check this out, I checked out their website, and they are a lot less than the dealer quoted price. I guess dealers add premium or a fee on top?

Yep it is a huge profit for them. From what i have read it is better to buy direct from the source if possible.
I also had the same thing with Warrantydirect. Sorry will not cover.

Well, actually, I would add another perspective to this discussion. A warranty is only as good as the experience that you have when you have a claim. I have no experience of a claim with my policy. It would be interesting to hear more from those who have filed claims.

Yes I agree. I would like to hear from the people who have a warranty and used it. How was the claim handled?
I talked with my local indy mechanic. They were sort of so-so about these warranties for the 996. They were surprised that I even found someone to cover the Porsche. They had one guy in that tried to use a warranty that was denied. This was a very expensive high end warranty. He had two issues which were not covered and they were surprised that the one issue was not covered. I think it is a roll of the dice either way you go. I guess it all comes down to how well the mechanical condition of your vary is.
