DaveRB99 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'm also looking for a Warranty from June onwards - I may go for the Porsche one but it's pricey at £700+.Does anyone know if the Warranty Works one covers the full value of the car ?Ideally I want one that covers RMS, full new Engine costs etc if needed, i.e. it'll need to cover up to the value of the car !Am slightly concerned about the horror stories on here re Engine failure, but not exactly too worried - I'm sure that for every one that fails there are about 100 out there which haven't.Help much appreciatedDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevedo Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Just had the RMS done this week under Porsche Extended warranty. Did not need to "claim" as such, just took it in without booking, they looked at it and confirmed RMS, booked it in, job now done. Remember that the Porsche warranty covers pretty much everything and includes Porsche Assistance in the price.As an aside, I had a Cayenne 3.2 V6 Tiptronic as a courtesy car, doubt you would get that with a 3rd party warranty. I don't particularly like 4x4 type vehicles, I could choose a new Boxster S or the Cayenne as a courtesy car. Chose the Cayenne for novelty value and all I can say is It wallows around and is dog slow, the SatNav told me to do a U-turn in my drive when I was already pointing in the right direction (if I'd done a u-turn I would have crashed into the house) and on one occasion we got to a T junction and got no directions. It also drinks like a fish, 15mpg average and I don't think I drove it particularly hard. Anyway, it made a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aad Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Just had my Porsche warranty renewed and the OPC agreed to wave the £150 inspection costs providing I went through with the renewal, have a chat with the service manager and see if they’ll do the same.

If you your cover limit is higher engine failure will be included up to the limit.DickieDickie - what's the claim limit and does your Wty cover Engine failure as well as RMS ?← Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaboxa Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 on warranty works limit cover is £1000 (but does cover RMS) for £369.60. Therefore if complete engine failure, I assume you are then not covered?? (replacement engine £10k++)Other option is the Platinum with £2500 cover limit, but this still isn't enough plus it is £840 which is more expensve than porsche.If you have a 2.5, it looks like we'll have to go to porsche for the warranty. 2.7,3.2 engines seem to have had not may problems, so less risk.

Just rang them, their reason for not covering me was that Boxsters were too problematic, and therefore uncover able. I brought the car in April privately, and got a unipart used car check. Part of the deal was a months warranty cover, when I went to register the warranty, I was told that Boxsters were not covered then as well. Is there anyone apart from Porsche that will cover me?
