Cost of Extending Porsche Warranty
Discussion
Hi all,
My 2013 Cayman S still has official Porsche warranty on it, which expires next March. I will be looking to extend it by a further 2 years and wanted to find out is there a set cost for this (excluding the 111 inspection and, of course, the cost of carrying out any work prior to being 'approved')? I was under the impression it is in the region of £1100/1200 for 2 years (a quote I got from Brooklands when I casually enquired) but my local OPC has given me a quote with is around £450 dearer. Do different OPCs set their own prices?
Thanks!

Well in this instance its better to have the MOT done early, and the service, and application for extended warranty, if they find 'something' whilst its still under 3 years old problem is all theirs!!
I always MOT and have inspected the car before any warranty expiry for this reason and always do first MOT at main dealers even if in future i'm not going to in case they 'find something' post warranty expiry.

It's a few years off yet but I've been thinking about the extended warranty for my CGTS. I have Zunsport grilles fitted, and will keep them, so I'm assuming my car will fail the 111 point check on these alone. Given the risk of damage without them, I think I'll forfeit the extended warranty.
Considering the list of items not covered, the risk of a rejected claim if I wriggle around my fitted grilles and the lack of engine issues with 981s, I'm thinking the £1600+ is just not worth it.

I've just been quoted £1,681 for 2 years extended warranty, including roadside assistance and the 111 point check (inc VAT).
Might be worth double checking that...I was quoted £1,681 for the 2 years with roadside but excluding the 111 point check....unless they agreed to do the check for free for you?The 111 point check gets included if you are the 'continuous' owner and the car is continuously in warranty. If you buy one 2nd hand outside the network and 'bring it into the system' as it were, it gets added on.
I need to add costs for the MOT (£55) and possibly a new tyre, depending how it looks come October?

no, that's not right. I've always had to pay for a 111 point check on renewal of the warranty, car has been in warranty it's whole life. They even charged me for it (111point check) when having a full service at the same time, but reduced the cost a tad.I need to add costs for the MOT (£55) and possibly a new tyre, depending how it looks come October?

It's normally up for discussion with your OPC!sidicks said:

Interesting, my OPC have always 'thrown it in', certainly on my 2 x 7.1 911's?isaldiri said:

It's normally up for discussion with your OPC!Sorry to drag this back up, my Cayman S is coming up on 3 years old, and it looks like I'm going to be keeping it for a while longer as I haven't found a suitable replacement yet.
I've spoken with my OPC this morning and have been quoted the below breakdown:
Hopefully this is beneficial for others
My understanding is that the warranty & assistance is fixed price from Porsche, so is non-negotiable. So the only negotiable items is on the 111 point check and in my case, an MOT - is this correct by your experience?
My other question is I'm trying to understand the risk vs reward. I'm not aware of any common problems with the 3.4 F6 or PDK gearbox that scream to me that the warranty is a must have. So it'll be for my own peace mind.

That all looks correct to me, and I've not heard of any major engine or PDK issues with 981 models. There is a slight question mark over the manual gearbox as some GT4s and GTSs have had a third(?) gear failure after track use.
Remember the car will need to be 100% as original to obtain the warranty. I've been told my Zunsport grilles would have to be removed to pass the 111-point check and re-fitting them would mean any warranty claims would have to be non-attributable to them. I think they're essential on my GTS so I'm going to keep the extended warranty cash in my pocket as a slush fund. My car insurance includes breakdown cover so I'll have £1000 a year set aside instead...
