Warranty - renewal pains.

[PhilD]

Does anyone know what the regulations are around a Porsche Warranty? My warranty expeired a couple of months ago and I didn't realise as I hadn't received any reminders or anything. Now Porsche want my car to go through a 111 point check before they will cover it, as you can imagine I am concerned that they will suddenly find lots of problems that weren't there in the last service (when it was under warranty) They also want to charge for the inspection.

Do I have any rights or should I just get out some ky and bend over? I guess I could get an aftermarket warranty but I will be selling the car in the new year (due to new baby) and would like the car to have a Porsche warranty for maximum resale value. The car is a 2003 Boxster S with 70k miles.

Cheers

Phil

they've been offering the 111 point check for free at some OPCs recently, so it should be incidental that you've expired

I would say go for the OPC warranty. Chalk it down to forget-fullness in not renewing it. Pay for the inspection. Wouldnt wait too long incase you have a RMS.

It's expired. You'll have to get the inspection done along with any work they demand before they'll issue the warranty again.

Sorry.

Cheers guys - I guess I will have to just bend over.... OPC have already offered 15% off the inspection - I might try for more....

Does everyone else get warranty renewal notices?

No, we write it in our diaries.

I bought my car from one OPC, had it serviced at another and once had some work done at a third OPC.

All three of them sent me a notice when my warranty was about to expire....!

Ha Ha!!!

OPC Reading will do an 111 point check FOC which is a start, I hope they don't do it with the view to making their money on the work needed to get it up to warranty spec????

Wait and see. Hopefully it'll sail through.

Assuming youve taken it out of your 2009 diary
