Costco is not available anymore. A good option is Mercury. Call them to see if they cover TPMS. That's $1K right there. 997.2 is very reliable but little things here and there adds up quickly.

How high is your risk tolerance? Mine is low, so I never drive without extended warranty coverage. Most time it has more than paid for itself.

Call Fidelity and ask for the nearest five dealers that sell fidelity waranty. Call them and find the best price. You dont have to buy the warranty only from a Porsche dealer.

was the Ford dealer offering Easycare? If so and the price is the same, I'd opt for that.

It is a smart move to buy some protection. Not all that costly when you amortize it over the length of period.

Fidelity Platinum covers the tire pressure monitors.
