First Post- Warranty
What's up people? I bought a 2018 C63 sedan a couple of days ago. The car has 13k miles and is still under factory warranty. I do want to play it safe and get an extended warranty but there are so many different companies I don't know which to choose. I bought the car from Hertz and they work with Fidelity. They offered me 6 years 100k miles for $4,700 for their platinum coverage. Any recommendations and what have your experiences been with 3rd party warranties?
Thanks in advance. Stay safe!

Don't know what it's like in the US, but 3rd party warranties aren't worth the paper they are written on. I'd only go Merc, if not, map the crap out of it and remember its only 8k for a new engine 👍

If you do your homework and do what you're doing right now. Network with like people with like needs. Try doing a search on the word "Fidelity" in the main search area. Here's what guys are saying on the Macan forum of which I'm a member there too (2018 Porsche Macan Turbo - RED!): https://www.macanforum.com/threads/s....169241/page-2

I'm a new C63 owner as well, picked up a 2017 CPO car last week. I went with the factory extended CPO warranty, was able to shop around and get a good deal with much help from the link below:
Extended Warranty Discounts
I've owned 2 other CPO cars in the past and the extended warranties have paid for themselves on both occasions. The extension to the factory 4yr/50k is a different product, but from everything I've read they have similar coverage. I've never dealt with third party, so unfortunately I can't help much with a comparison.

I'm sure LS7's and other yank metal will be more expensive in the UK, but the C63 has always been a popular car here, so plenty of engines on the market. I always have a look, because reality is that 80% of a warranty is on the engine and gearbox, the rest of the stuff is either serviceable, aftermarket alternative or not much to replace. So an engine for 6-8k doesn't seem too bad if a warranty is a similar price. Especially when some warranties are insisting on refurbed parts.

Eh? Just use the hardware and transfer your original ECU. Replacing an engine is not exactly rocket surgery. Warranty companies ask for a refurbed tranny anyway, how do you think they do it and where do the transmissions come from?
