Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Newbie - considering late 993 v early 996: Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of what practical warrantee cover can be acquired/recommended that would provide "˜real' cover to cars of the 96-99 year range and probably 50-70k mileage. I appreciate the 996 engine failure scenario may be oversold given the nature of such forums but am still concerned on this risk and would consider paying for peace of mind if close to reasonable. Any experience on cover options + cost and reality of this cover would be appreciated. I can just hear that "normal wear and tear" comment now from Mr faceless insurance man .. I believe Porsche will take back into the fold such cars and provide good cover but costs likely to be £8-900 per annum and I guess hidden costs would be forced OPC servicing and maintenance uplift charges over independent. Am hopefully realistic re expectations but again would be grateful for any feedback on typical "" no big issue "" running costs per annum. Low mileage say 4-6k pa. Any what is a bad year re respective models. What cost gearbox, engine replace, diff failure. I know they are v rare but shit happens sometimes and would like to have my eyes open on the way in"¦
