Old Post but FYI: their site indicates that they DO cover Porsche Boxsters..... reasonable terms and conditions

Sooner, was it the year or mileage that excluded you? Try the AAA site. You type in the year and mileage and they tell you what you are eligible for.

I went with Fidelity Warranty Services. 3 or 4 years ago they had many problems and are no longer considered a problem on any searches I can find. Another good point was that several Porsche owners at my dealership said good things about them. Audi USA uses them as well. http://storage.audiusa.com/afs/four.shtml

The Audi Pure Protection Plan is administered by Fidelity Warranty Services, Inc. Florida License # 60026.

I have had mixed experiences with extended warranties, but given the average cost of simple repairs for the Boxster, it was a no brainer.
First vehicle was an 86 Jeep Cherokee...had $3500 in warranty work.
92 929 had $1200 warranty work
99 Dodge Dakota 0 warranty work.
04 Touareg, never made it to extended warranty. it was a lemon. Warranty Direct is reimbursing me.

Kind of like the Purolator jingle to me..."pay me now or pay me later". Biggest consideration is length of expected ownership. Buying it for the sole reason of transferrability doesn't seem like a good investment to me.

I like that the deductible is waived if I take it to the dealer and I would hardly take it anywhere else. Hopefully it will be awhile till I can report anything!

There seems to be a law or an issue where non-dealer's cannot sell warranty's in California . AAA doesn't offer it.

Warrant Direct gives you the following message:

Several months ago, we filed an extensive coverage plan with the California Department of Insurance. We are still awaiting final approval before we can begin offering coverage. We are unable to provide any firm date at this time. We appreciate your patience as we wade through this regulatory process and thank you for your interest in Warranty Direct.

Man, California really is "like a whole other country". Glad I don't live there.
