Please refrain from telling me this warranty is useless. This is not that kind of thread.
It's for people who are shopping an extended warranty. And I'm just relating my quest for one.
I called a bunch of places (Easy Care, Warranty Direct, Fidelity, etc.). My goal was 4 years of warranty for around $3500. The cheapest quote with the most coverage came from DownTown LA Porsche.
They treated me very well and did a free 1 hour inspection to clear the car. It came down to $3540 for a Gold Plus (ENGINE, TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/TRANSFER CASE, DRIVE AXLE, STEERING, BRAKES, AIR CONDITIONING, SUSPENSION,
ELECTRICAL (not everything), COOLING, FUEL) Fidelity Ext. Warranty. The car had no warranty on it and is a 2006 997S with about 40K on the ODO.
What is exactly is Gold Plus?

The quotes were really ALL over the place. Even a ridiculous $9000 for fairly basic coverage 2 year coverage! Also different dealerships gave me very different quotes for the same Fidelity warranty. For example MotorVillage LA quoted me a much higher amount for the coverage I got at Porsche Downtown LA (which is literally across the street). It's was like 2 grand higher.

Have you canvassed non Porsche dealers for Fidelity. Some Rennlister posted that he bought his from a non Porsche dealer not too long ago, if I'm not mistaken... Could it have been cheaper?

Seems like a great price. What's your deductible? I'm considering the same thing. Did you get a quote for Platinum coverage? They are trying to talk me into that. Thanks.

Call Fidelity direct and get as many in-state sources that sell their product. Among Porsche, VW/Audi, Hertz and Volvo I ended up purchasing at a Kia dealer -
Platinum/5YR/60K/$250 = $2750. 10% down, 12 interest free payments.
Next lowest quote - $3685, with a high of $4200!
Plus, if you're so inclined, don't hesitate to negotiate. These products have substantial markup and they're easy money for dealers. And it's FAR cheaper to purchase BEFORE your factory warranty expires. Not sure if CPOs apply but I would assume they would?
A main concern with Fidelity is the over-heating clause. Warranty Direct doesn't have it but their's was $1400 more and non-negotiable. I've had a WD warranty on my SUV and had a $1200 differential replaced without any issues. The warranty cost was $900/$100 deductible so with four days car rental I'm about $250 ahead!
