Aftermarket warranties

[Farrel]

Has anyone found a aftermarket drivetrain warranty for the Porsche 911. I'm thinking this would reduce the worry about the engine self destructing. I would be willing to pay quite a bit to know that I'm covered.

There have been posts on this topic in various forums quite recently. A Google search should turn up the threads.

What I found when considering a warranty is that it was hard to find one that would definitely cover IMS issues for a 12 year old car (I have a 2002). The cost of the warranty was also high. I ended up not pursuing it figuring that I would spend the money on preventative maintenance.

I have one from "Elite" that cover all internally lubricated parts. I called and specifically asked about the IMS bearing and they claimed it was covered. We shall see if and when that ever happens.

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the tip on Elite. Did they cover your 996 Cabriolet?
