Hi all
Just wondering if theres any merit in extending the warranty on my car (2021) now ! rather than waiting until March.
I guess my thinking is that everything else for Taycan (particularly insurance) is rising dramatically.
Are Porsche likely to increase the warranty prices in the New Year ???

I was speaking to the finance manager at a dealership about that the other day. He acknowledged that prices may change due to costs as more info about the Taycan's repair history become known. He suggested to start the conversation about 9-12 months before the end of your warranty period.

You defo need to do it before the current one expires. You then save the cost of a 111 pt check.

I asked about price rises...was told they'd not risen for a couple of years but usually went up in September.

Like you I'm thinking of extending sooner (mine runs to Mar 2025!).

Mine said the same. Best do it before it ends (2 years over here) to avoid the 111 points check. It has to pass point. They need to take some pictures so I have to go overthrew. Best 6 weeks before the end.

My understanding is that no matter when you buy it, it doesn’t take effect until expiry of the new car warranty, so as far as I know,you should have nothing to lose by acting now.

From what I read in the US version of Porsche vehicle service plan, if you decide to cancel the agreement early, your refund is pro-rated based on the miles or time that have passed since the date the agreement was purchased. This refund calculation occurs from date of plan purchase whether the original Porsche warranty has expired or not.
