Warranty needed for 996 Turbo

Hi Everyone,

I bought a 996 turbo from a specialist and wondered whether someone could recommend a warranty. Any advice greatly appreciated.
 
I have had my turbo for 6 years and not had anything fail which would have been a warranty claim. So on that basis I can't recommend a warranty.

I'm not entirely sure an aftermarket warranty is required for the turbo. I put aside £200 a month for any unforseen things which needs changing ie radiators etc. I think an aftermarket warranty would be very expensive due to age of the car I may be wrong though.
 
I have a warranty with the Porsche specialist where I bought the car only 4 months ago. As they are saying now that its ok for them to fit a aftermarket exhaust, but if any one else (including any Porsche specialist) fits it, they will deem the warranty null and void. I really want the exhaust, but they are saying it will cost approx £780 plus vat. I feel as if I'm being held over a barrel here.

So, I am considering my options, which are see if anyone else can provide a similar warranty or forget the warranty (£1100 per year - doesn't include) from where I bought the car. The car won't be tracked and will cover approx 2,000 to 3,000 miles a year.

It does have its problems, for example the day after I bought it from a reputable Porsche specialist, the clutch went. 120 miles after that the coolant pipes started leaking and that was only 130 miles ago. Oh, and I paid £600 towards the cost of the clutch (most people tell me that they would have given the keys back and taken back their cash - but I liked the guys).

So, now I am being told that I use them to fit the exhaust and pay 10 hours labour - but this could increase or if I fit it using a Porsche specialist it would void the warranty which I paid for. :frustrated: :frustrated: :frustrated:

What would you do? help
 
I would wait until the warranty expires and then get the exhaust fitted wherever I wanted.

Give me a call lunchtime tomorrow - was thinking about this on the way home and have a proposal for you. Frankly a ludicrous situation.

Will do, Ken
