wetstuff,

I went to Intercontinental Warranty Services website and since I belong to a Credit Union I wanted to get a "Free Quote". When I got down to the Make and Model information "Porsche" was NOT on their list of cars. Too good to be true? My 2001 warranty is up in July.

Talking

It is not unusual for warranty companies to lay off the Porsche market. Other exotics also get declined.

Contract

The contract that I received was for mechanical only. This would excluded any seals or the famous RMS. I got to thinking how many things go wrong that are not mechanical parts and decided that it was too restrictive. See my earlier post.

Sp_007: Me too - no P listing. I just entered ACURA..or whatever was first and then told them when they called me. They do it. Hell, I'd call the CU. I can't imagine yours would be much more/less than mine?! I even sneaked the 'S' by them... (always expecting the raised eyebrow w/ German half smile.)

Off topic: We also have an 01 Merc ML320 and it was almost double if I remember correctly... Boy, MB's fallen into a tar pit. (I've not had an real problems with it.)

AAA After Market Warranty

I just purchased an extended warranty for my 03 S which still has over a year of factory cover left and 12,000 miles on it.

The warranty runs for 7 years (from purchase date of the warranty) or 85,000 total odometer miles and matches the factor bumper to bumper warranty.

Price is about $2,300 paid over 12 months, fully refundable in the first 60 days if I decide I don't like the idea.

Name of company : AAA (See post title)

Miles on your car right now? : 13,100 (they backdated the warranty as 12k makes a difference)

Website address : http://www.aaa.com

You have to be a AAA member, they also say you have to buy it within ten days of purchase but after the ten days are up there seem to suddenly be way around that.

Chris.
