Extended Warranty

[jr_152]

My Porsche warranty on my 2004 4s with 43K miles on it, runs out on the end of this month.

I checked with my Porsche dealer on getting an extended warranty, and they suggested Easy Care to add 4 years or 50K miles for $5388.00 with $250.00 deductible.

When I came home, I decided to do a check on Easy Care, and from all the complaints I see, looks like they are a Rip-off Company.

Anyone with a warranty company they can recommend? A company that actually pays for a claim when needed.

Can you post a link for the complaints for Easy Care? I had heard they were a reputable company

Man I can't find one single extended warranty company that sounds reputable.. Every single one has a bad rep... Make me wonder if I should even bother spending the money.

Check out Mercury Insurance Group extended warranty. I have them for my 03 C4 cab. So far over $5K of repairs covered with no problems.

As a shop, I have had pretty good luck with Easycare. Total Protestion Plan is another decent one funded by Fidelity.

No warranty company is going to cover everything, and usually the highest plan they have is the only logial one to purchase. These companies are really designed to help out your costs, not cover them completely. The hype that is used to sell them is not necessarily what is written in the pages of the policy.

Good Luck

PS That cost seems high even for the top of the line plan.
