Default Aftermarket Warranty

Hi folks,

Looking at buying a 997 and wondering if anyone has any experience with obtaining an aftermarket warranty here in Canada. I have received one quote from a company in Ontario but their max 'per claim' limit is $5K. I'm not really interested in smaller stuff as I am primarily looking at warranty to protect against big ticket items like bore scoring or IMS failure.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Kieran

IMO your best to look for a car with detailed service history and do a full detailed PPI. Take the money you would spend on a third party warranty and put it aside for future repairs.

Yes - this would be in addition to that. Again, not worried about stuff you can easily diagnose with a PPI. From my understanding IMS and bore scoring issues can develop seemingly out of nowhere so am really looking for coverage for that.

Scoring does not happen overnight. If the car passes a PPI with a bore scope I would not worry. Also I doubt any third party warranty would even cover something that major without a huge battle.

+1 on the lottery tickets.
