Hello everyone.
I am looking for an extended warranty for my 2008 Turbo. My car has about 27830 miles on it...
I called my Porsche dealer in AZ.
They give me two quote?
Has anyone had any kind of experience with them?
Hows the price?
Also which company is better?
Thank you
36 MONTHS 36000 MILES FROM DATE WARRANTY PURCHASED $ 100 DECUTIBLE FIDELITY IS THE COMPANY $ 4430.00
36MONTHS 45000 MILES FROM DATE WARRANTY PURCHASED $ 100 DECTUBILE UNITER AUTO CARE $ 4710.00
BOTH ARE PLATINUM COVERAGE

I did some checking and generally Fidelity received good reviews. Techs I talked to said that the Fidelity rep when a claim is presented is often a bit of a bother asking tons of questions seeking to find a valid reason to deny the claim, but the techs are used to this.
I have no experience/knowledge of United Auto Care.
I elected to decline the Fidelity plan and the CPO paperwork came through in just a few days.
My 2nd hand info is these aftermarket warranties provide a dealer a pretty good profit margin. If you decide you want say a Fidelity warranty make an offer less than the $4430. How much less? I don't know the answer to that. $1000 less? I mean would you accept the Fidelity warranty if you could get it for $3330?
Be sure also to read the fine print and know just which warranty/service plan you are getting. There are generally 2 or 3 flavors and what they cover varies considerably. The less expensive ones of course cover way less.

Congratulations! It felt great to finally get this over with. I have enjoyed the car even more now that I have a warranty. before I purchased the Fidelity plan I had the water pump go out but really nothing else mechanical to repair. However, should I encounter one of the dreaded biggies I will be in good shape. As good as the 997 is, mine is still 11 years old. Remarkable to me that I could even get an extended warranty.

I found another Fidelity Dealer. It came in lower than Mike's considerably. It will be finalized on Monday. They even offered me a 10% down 2 year zero interest option.

Getting the car sorted (bought used, unseen, had a PPI) have equaled the cost of warranty. Highly recommended!

This most recent go round was Turbo (hose and clamp), illuminated door sill, frunk internal switch, alignment, TPC system.
The dealership went above and beyond...which was probably the most shocking of all of this considering my predisposed bias towards dealerships (in terms of costs).

Luckily my car came with a warranty, but I don't think $5k would have helped much with the $10k in repairs/additional work I have had done for just the cost of my $250 deductible 3 times. It was said perfectly above...Garage Queen yeah save your money. Drive the car how it should be driven? Warranty
