Default Warranty

So would this be the pecking order?

CPO >> PORSCHE PLATINUM >> FIDELITY

Just had an in-depth conversation with dealer about this as I was buying a CPO Panamera GTS. They made it very clear that the third year is in no way refundable, hopefully your experience turns out differently.

They spent over $8500 CPOing my car before purchase. CPO is the way to go as far as I am concerned. My friend has a CPO Cayenne Diesel and recently had the PDK and headlights replaced and is in $35K on warranty.
The third year being refundable is at the discretion of the selling dealer so yes its not automatic. I also made them put it in writing since I did not see these provisions in any of the CPO stuff I saw when buying the car.
