Anyone know how much a 2 year warranty (without Porsche Assistance) is supposed to cost from an OPC?

Are the prices different where the car:
(a) doesn't already have a Porsche warranty (i.e. new policy);
(b) already has a Porsche warranty (i.e. renewal)?

I think the price is the same price for all 997 variants. Is that correct?

If you are taking out or renewing a Porsche warranty at the same time as having a minor (2 year, 6 year etc) or major (4 year, 8 year etc) service done, have you been charged the £217 111 point inspection fee?

Seems like there is no uniformity and OPCs do their own thing.

The 997 service pricing pdf is accessible here: https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessoriesandservice/p...

Under "111 point check":
"The 111 point check required to take out a Porsche Approved Warranty is included in Fixed Price Servicing at £217* for all Porsche models."

I read this mean that if you have a minor or major service done, the £217 fee is not chargeable. OPC said the wording meant that the the £217 is just another line item in the price list; and is therefore still chargeable when a minor or major service is done at the same time.

PCGB customer services has confirmed that my interpretation is correct:

"Thank you for your email addressing concerns over the 111 check and Major Service that you recently had on your Porsche.

If a Porsche Centre is included in ‘Fixed Price Servicing’ then as quoted on the below link –

'The 111 point check required to take out a Porsche Approved Warranty is included in Fixed Price Servicing at £217 for all Porsche Models’

Therefore if you had this work completed at a participating Porsche Centre, then the 111 point check is not chargeable. If this work was not completed at a participating Porsche Centre, then a 111 check remains chargeable to the centres discretion."
