POLL - Who is ON a warranty and who is OFF Warranty (risking it all)

[mylamb]

*2001 S with 56K

*Warranty through Warranty America

*$2275 for 60 mos, 80,000 miles - claims to mirror Bumper-Bumper (but plenty of clauses)

*Better than NOTHING but far from satisfying

*Purchased at 38,000 miles and has already paid for itself 2X's, but I'm out a few grand in uncovered repairs too.

P Dealers often recommend Easy Care, because:
1. they probably sell it, and
2. it seems to be one of the few warranties that knows what to expect when it comes to covering these cars.

*Warranty America will only honor AllData or Motors when it comes to necessary hours to complete a job. They won't honor Chiltons & they won't honor Porsche. This is VERY important info when it comes to where you service your car. A dealership will use Porsche's hours & most specialists use Porsche or Chilton. AllData & Motors frequently come up with fewer hours for the repair, so the warranty company will only pay out on their recommendation. This has caused me NUMEROUS headaches & plenty of extra $$$, but obviously, the thing to do is find a specialist that will use AllData or Motors to work around it. Problem is... will they be any good? Most Porsche specialists get their hours straight from Porsche.

Hope this info helps.
