Do You Need a Porsche Warranty Extension?
The 4 years/50,000 mile Porsche warranty is not long enough to cover most older models. If you’re not ready to get rid of your old Porsche, think about the dependability of the brand’s cars as well as your possibilities for an extended warranty.
According to the J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM, Porsche typically produces dependable automobiles. Porsche is the seventh most reliable brand out of 32 according to the research, with owners reporting an average of 162 issues per 100 vehicles.
Reviews on RepairPal show the exact opposite. Porsche receives a 2.0 out of 5.0 reliability rating, which is below average. Porsche is actually ranked 32nd out of 32 brands on RepairPal, and the website predicts high costs for repairs and upkeep. Porsche owners spend an average of $1,192 annually on maintenance, compared to the $652 average for annual vehicle maintenance and repairs.
Porsche was contacted by us for comment regarding RepairPal’s low reliability ratings, but we did not hear back.
Although J.D. Power’s reliability statistics appear to be solid, it is difficult to ignore Porsche’s poor RepairPal ratings. An extended Porsche warranty is probably going to be able to save drivers a ton of money and lessen the hassle that comes with a mechanical failure.
What kind of coverage already do you have?
The existing protection that your car already has is a crucial factor to take into account when choosing a Porsche extended warranty. All brand-new Porsches get the following coverage when they leave the dealership:
- combined bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranty for 4 years and 50,000 miles
- Genuine Porsche parts replacement warranty for two years and unlimited miles
- 12-year/unlimited-mileage warranty against corrosion perforation
Porsche CPO vehicles must pass a 111-point examination, be under 13 years old, and have less than 124,000 miles on the odometer in order to be sold. Every vehicle sold by the manufacturer comes with a CPO warranty that covers the majority of critical components for two years and unlimited miles after the factory guarantee expires, or from the date of sale if the new car limited warranty has already run out.
Because Porsche’s new and certified pre-owned warranties are shorter than those offered by other major automakers, purchasing an extended warranty may be a smart way to safeguard your investment over the long haul. Having assured auto protection for a vehicle whose expensive maintenance and repair costs you are aware of ought to increase your sense of security while driving.
How Reliable Is the Porsche Extended Warranty?
Porsche offers two variations of its Vehicle Service Protection Plan: Platinum and Powertrain. Each comes with the option of coverage ranging from 1 to 6 years, up to a maximum of 10 years or 100,000 miles, beyond the factory’s 4-year/50,000-mile new vehicle warranty period.
These warranty options are available at the time of purchase for Porsche models that are new, used, and certified used. For a car that is still protected by the original manufacturer’s warranty, you may also add this protection in the service department at the Porsche dealer.
There are two deductible options available for the Porsche extended warranty: $100 and $250. The $100 deductible is removed when you have a covered repair made at your selling dealer, but the $250 deductible lowers the upfront warranty cost.
Porsche consumers who posted on online forums claim that the price difference between the nine-year and 10-year plans is the greatest, indicating that the nine-year plan might offer the best value.
If you select the Powertrain plan, just the drive axle, engine, transmission, engine, transmission, all-wheel drive, and seals and gaskets are covered.
Choosing the Platinum option adds the following systems across the car and covers these areas:
- components of a climate control system, such as an air conditioner and a heater
- Shock absorbers, bushings, and bearings for both the front and rear suspension
- braking and steering
- fuel system, comprising sensors and fuel injection
- Power windows and seats are included in the electrical system.
- High-tech features such as Bluetooth and GPS displays for audio and navigation
Porsche states that “all participating, approved Porsche dealers or other authorized licensed repair facilities” are acceptable locations for the Porsche Vehicle Service Protection Plan.
Each contract also includes additional roadside features with 24-hour roadside assistance, such as:
- reimbursement of up to $250 for towing to the closest approved licensed repair facility or to your original selling dealer. Keep in mind that if a breakdown happens within 100 miles of your selling dealer, Porsche will pay for towing there. Your vehicle will be transported to the closest authorized, licensed repair facility if it is a longer trip. (Porsche does not say whether this is a Porsche dealer always.)
- Reimbursement for a rental car up to $50 per day for a maximum of 10 days. Any additional insurance, such as the collision damage waiver, would be the responsibility of the customer.
- For a maximum of five days, there is $200 per day in trip interruption coverage.
For a one-time $50 cost, the extended warranty plan can be transferred to the new owner if you sell your Porsche to a private party.

This page goes through the specifics of Porsche’s CPO program, manufacturer warranty, and extended warranty.
You have two options for extending protection past the manufacturer warranty: a dealer-backed plan or a third-party contract. Both solutions might be useful in different circumstances, but we’ve seen third parties typically offer more flexibility and more affordable options. We advise requesting quotes from each of the top extended warranty providers to compare prices since they all cover a variety of Porsche models, including Endurance, CARCHEX, and CarShield.
