After market warranty data base

Does anyone have any experience with Century Warranty Services. I found them off of Carfax's website. It looks like their policy would be ok.

As I posted earlier I have just purchased an extended warranty from AAA. The paperwork has now come through and everything looks fine, no suprises in the details.

As an aside it says I can get a $100 referral for any references, if you decide to look in to the AAA warranty and go ahead I'd be happy to split this with you and share the benefits. If you're interested drop me a PM or email lawlessc #at# gmail #dot# com and I'll send you the details.

Just for future references, are you sure that its is AAA, not AA Auto Warranty. When i first saw it, i said to myself this is something, atleast there is a huge organization's reputation.

I'm right now discussing an extended new car warrantee with the dealer. The notes are in my car, but the warrantee is for 3 years (past the 4 year new warrantee, for a total of 7) and I forget the additional miles

Platinum - $2500 - same as new car warrantee
Gold Plus - something like $2000, covers less
Gold - something like $1800, covers less

The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of a warrantee now. I figure in about a year or two I will trade up to a 987. I wonder how much of this $2500 I can recover? If I can't recover any of it, then I might just take the risk that I won't have more than $2500 in repairs costs in the next 24 months. Am I nuts?

The other thing is that this "extended new car warrantee" is available only up to one month prior to your regular new car warrantee expiration. After that, then you have to get a "used car warrantee" which I haven't asked about.

I have many questions to ask the dealer.

Then I need to call some third parties...

Here's a couple of thoughts to help you decide:

If you plan to trade the car, you need to know that the warranty transfers to the new owner... if so, it may be that feature that sells the car for what it's worth and not a penny less (I know I'd love to buy a used Boxster with a good extended warranty that was worth something!)

I'd also see if there's any way you can visit with others who have this warranty and find out if it really pays out or every claim is denied with creative explanations of the fine print.

Is the warranty from Porsche, or resold to you from a Porsche dealer? That's better than a 3rd party dealer selling you a 3rd party warranty.

I'll tell you this... Boxsters need all kinds of expensive stuff in years 4-8. See if convertible top transmissions, cables and the like are covered as well as oxygen sensors and the MAF. If these are indeed covered, then you'll certainly get your $2500 out of it if you keep the car that long.

Hope this helps!

I mean the real experience, like something was broken. How those companies were behaving. Do we have a really nice company, because we do not have enough legislative power to control them, like insurance companies, we really need a trustable and proven company.

I got the "new car extended warrantee" from the dealer. Platinum plan at $2500.

The thing is transferable to a new owner, so if I sell it then I can argue the added value of this warrantee.

...and the investment is refundable for the prorated amount. So if I total the car tomorrow I will get the warrantee money back.

Also, I have been building a good relationship with this dealer, so I think there is added benefit to working with them on their recommended warrantee plan. I suppose someone could argue that its a trap, but I favor the "good relationsihp" argument.
