Like other folks, I got plenty of letters and emails from the dealer selling an “Extended Warrantee,” really repair insurance, after the CPO coverage ended on my 2016 Cayman S. After a bit of research, I bought a package from Safe-Guard through my Porsche service shop. Not the dealer, which sells similar products but at a higher markup.
A few months later, I started hearing a slight ticking on the left side. Quickly resulted in a CEL for a misfire and a couple of other scary codes for cyl 5. The shop determined a lifter was sticking and replaced both intake lifters.
Cost to me was $250; not almost $4,000. And I’m still covered for the remainder of the policy.
Pretty happy with the whole deal. Except having a sticking lifter at only 27,000 miles.
Without the insurance, it would be a much more negative post
