Extended Porsche warranty for turbo.

[UKTIVO]

Just had the attached quote from a dealer for a 1, 2 and three year Porsche extended warranty with and without recovery.
Any inputs please. They seem pretty reasonable to me. What do you think?
It’s a Turbo 3 years old in December with 32k miles.

Yes, seems ok. You can probably get the AA or whatever cheaper seperately. However porsche assistance is v v v useful at jumping the queue at the garage if something needs fixing, so i'd keep that.

It isn’t cheap and you might get an aftermarket warranty + AA/RAC cheaper but I would probably go with that. Maybe check if any of it is refundable if you subsequently trade in the car. But I don’t think owning it without some sort of warranty is a viable option

For what was a £130k car that has limitless potential for parts failure at Porsche prices, I'll be happy to take that for mine when the time comes.

I have.. gone for the two years with a view of hopefully by then the market may have sorted itself out a little bit.

I've run all my previous cars without extended warranty.

I won't be doing the same with the Taycan!

3k for 3yrs isn't bad. Have also been told recovery is extra (I don't need it though).

Allegedly prices last went up Sept 22...so am thinking of extending now even though I have 18mths to go. I suspect costs will go up.

Will see if they can discount.

Yes I'm in the same position. Crazy really that an EV warranty is the same price as the 911 despite thousands fewer moving parts however if things go wrong........

The service boss at my dealership said, that they have a lot of people regretting not getting extended warranty, if they keep their Porsches longer than factory warranty. I am not sure what is the difference between Extended vs. CPO if buying directly from the dealership, but these are a few scenarios I ran into so getting Extended warranty is not clear cut.

2016 Macan Turbo had a long list of issues, most were covered by factory warranty, some like transfer case, Porsche on their own extended to 7 years, then dealership has some good will allowance for certain customers who bought multiple cars, and I am one of them, and many more issues happened past factory, and were covered under good will. The point being, that a combination of factors did not require extended warranty. Then we just sold it to someone who wanted it for some time when we were ready to sell, since it is in impeccable condition, and the new buyer CPO'd for $3k for 3 years anyway at 74k miles, and immediately got an Engine Control Unit Fault, that is covered by CPO, resulting in some sensor thermostat not closing. So the service boss is onto something.

2020 Cayenne Turbo has had zero mechanical issues, unlike the Macan, only some sagging seat leather that was replaced under warranty on the rear bench. Then PSCBs have been squealing so under a TSB they replaced pretty much everything but the front rotors, still making noise at the front. My factory warranty is about to expire in a few months. My service boss says, I need to consider Extended Warranty as we plan to keep it a long time, only 38k miles, superb example of a machine with sublime V-8 that sounds like a V-10, and we absolutely dislike the new Gen they released, that does not even have a true Turbo any more. I am leaning toward taking chances, hoping for good will again.

2023 Taycan Turbo is a different story, it is new at this time, and when the factory warranty goes out, I cannot imagine not getting one, since this one will be a keeper for a long time, and any issue would likely exceed any good will limits that are typically in a $5k range per incident and have to be approved by corporate depending on the customer historic spend. The only way I would consider getting a new gen when this one gets close to factory expiration: 1) if they do not mess up the looks, 2) they make worthwhile enhancements, but currently I do not see any that I would benefit from as I am happy with everything at this point and 3) if I make enough extra money to stomach the losses in making the trade. I had to take a 2nd job to stretch for a no compromise build for my own, as I just loved the car so much when I researched it and test drove loaners for days, before making the decision to purchase. My own example exceeded all expectations, always looking forward to driving it. I am suspecting if I drive it long enough, the battery will be the only component that will stand the test of time, and other parts will start going out much sooner. The glass seems to be the most vulnerable external part so I have Exhoshield on the windshield, but the roof glass certainly can get hit based on forum member experiences. Heater is probably the most vulnerable internal part.
