Extended Warranty.

[donlycan]

My MY06 Carrera is now out of Factory warranty. It has 11,950 miles on the clock. I want to purchase an after market, bumper-to-bumper, warranty here in the US.

Reccomendations? Cost for a 4 year, 60,000 mile w/$100 deductible quoted by Auto Protection is $2395. Does anyone have experience with Auto Protection? Other Companies? Costs? Etc.?

Thanks in advance!

No thoughts?

I've spoken with Auto Protection and Direct. I would love references and/or more names.

Thanks!

look into "Easy Care". I have their warranty on my 06 S Carrera. Bumper to bumper ($100 deductable) for 4 years 60k. Think I paid $2750 for it. Easy Care has a good reputation with my dealer and my indie shops. Best of all their adjusters know Porsches well. Make sure you talk to your dealer about "Auto protection" and see if they have worked with them. I personally have never heard of them. I did a lot of research on extended warranty companies. Be very careful who you deal with.

Good luck

I agree, went with EasyCare for my 2006 Carrera S with 12k miles. They didnt even require an inspection because of the low miles and verified service history. So far have not had to use them. Went with the $100 deductable, seemed like the best value.

Picked EasyCare because they cover airbag systems of which this car has 6, and they include wheel/tire damage.

My dealer sold Fidelity but they dont cover airbags and I heard some bad stories about them.

Its still not the same as the factory warranty but is worthwhile on a car this complex.

Thanks for the input.

I went with Direct. Easy Care was way high (twice). It seems that warranty claims on our cars (maybe engines!!!) has caused huge rate increases. Don't wait!
