Warranty

[NIL98]

I just paid an obscene amount to fix all those little niggles found in the 111 point check in order to qualify for the Porsche warranty.

Someone tell me I did the right thing .......[]

If it goes wrong ...like gearbox you prob have..... however from my limited experience with Porsche I suspect, sorry to say, you have paid a lot for in reality, very little?

They tried to dispute that an electronic sensor is not covered although coil packs are?? both are inert electronic objects and do not move so why is one covered and not the other!!

I elected not to extend my warranty, £800 for another year was too much for me. Personally Porsche should give a 3 year warranty as standard at no cost. At the end of the day though it's a matter of choice, if having the warranty buys you peace of mind, then it was money well spent, assuming that when you need to claim it all works. Other companies do offer similar insurance at a fraction of the cost if you look around.

Well thats what started the journey actually. I bought the car with an aftermarket warranty but they wanted £900 to renew so I went for the official one at that price. My 911 has just gone beyond the 9 year limit so one Porsche risk (996 at that) is enough. Peace of mind is imprtant for the daily transport, and certainly the 996 forum always recommends Porsche warranty.

We had the same dilemma , the Pepper turned into a U boat at one stage ( the left side filled with loads of water - eventually the PCM went to lunch ).
Lenghty discussions but in the end both PorcheGB and dealer covered some of cost ,still left with 2.5k difference for a leaky car.
We changed the windscreen and passenger door seal and hey presto! Dry as a bone. Last service only needed new plugs and coils but still all up 1.3k.
Decided not to take up warranty but did buy Porsche assist from RAC @ £120 for peace of mind. On the other hand the 911 turbo has been renewed.....

Neil,

If its any consolation, i have just paid £1095 for a warrenty on my 4 year old boxster. £895 for the warranty and £200 for the 111 point check.

I think its worth it though depending on what mileage you do.

My Cayenne S is an 06 model year,I have extended the Porsche warranty again recently because we use the car quite a bit,you can only extend to 125 k miles,last year the engine coolant pipes ruptured and I was very glad of the cover,I have always found the policy to cover everything needed so far anyway, and it gives real peace of mind.
