I don't see Porsche ever doing that.

Some are better than others. Chevy laughed when two of my 305 V8 fleet pickups developed flat cams at 32000mi and 35000mi. Original owner, 30k warranty period, flawless service records. Ford said "Go Fish" when a V6 would not pass a compression test at 56k... original owner, 48k warranty period. I have been buying Toyota's ever since.

Extended warranties are great when MFG flaws are discovered but rarely go beyond the original owner. Maybe someday Porsche will see value in this.
