Better served with an aftermarket warranty of some type - any provider better than another and approximate cost?

Interested to know, now that I have a target.

Also for reference, I paid $2800 for 7/70 when I bought mine new. I was told Porsche does not offer extended warranty on new purchase so mine was thru 3rd party. A company called CNA National, I hope they are still around as I have not filed any claim yet.

I got one from "Easy Care" sold to me by my local Porsche dealership. My car was still on original warranty, which was about to expire. Cost about $2500. They have come through with needed repairs.

No HTwo O

I purchased my extended warranty at Sunset Porsche. They offered 3 levels of coverage, silver, gold and platinum. I went with the platinum for $2,600 because it basically covered most everything except wear items. Just make sure you are aware of any deductable per occurance, 75 bucks seems to be the normal.

I have the exact same warranty on mine, through Fidelity (not the investment fund) in Florida

I used it for a recent clutch job with RS parts and it worked fine. It was also used for an RMS job with no issues.

Your shop will have to do a bit of back an forth with this type of warranty, with CPO the dealer just does it all in my experience

Polly Q at Sunset can hook you up by phone, warranty works anywhere

I bought one from my local dealer and they use Fidelity Warranty Services as well. I did a little research and FWS is owned by JM Enterprises. If you don't know who JM Enterprises is, they are very well funded to say the least.

Odd that you got your clutch job warrantied, I have their top of the line warranty and the SA made it clear to me that clutch components were not covered and even showed me in the brochure.
