The other day, we received a postcard from the Porsche dealer about the Boxster GTS\u2019s upcoming vehicle inspection. Oh wow… we bought the Boxster new in November 2015, so it\u2019s already been three years\u2014time flies.<\/p>\n
Then, shortly after, another letter arrived from Porsche Japan. Inside was information about the “Porsche Approved Warranty.”<\/strong><\/p>\n P-Porsche Approved Warranty? (-_-)<\/span><\/p>\n Apparently, the “Porsche Approved Warranty” is a coverage program available for new and used Porsche vehicles that meet certain conditions.<\/strong> The warranty period can be renewed every one or two years. Since our Boxster\u2019s original new car warranty expires after three years, this notice was sent at just the right time.<\/p>\n The annual cost for the “Porsche Approved Warranty” is 100,400 yen per year for Boxster and Cayman models<\/strong> (for Panamera, it\u2019s 130,680 yen per year, the highest among all models)<\/span>. Porsche covers all repair costs for components during the warranty period. Here\u2019s an overview:<\/p>\n \u30fbValid worldwide However, vehicles eligible for the Porsche Approved Warranty must meet the following conditions:<\/p>\n \u30fbPorsche vehicles registered less than 10 years ago The warranty applies only to vehicles that have undergone specified periodic inspections and maintenance, meeting Porsche Approved standards.<\/p>\n While reading the information, I said to my husband, “This sounds amazing! So if something breaks or malfunctions, they\u2019ll replace it, right?”<\/strong> But they won\u2019t cover replacement of worn or consumable parts. Oil and tires are excluded.<\/p>\n Wait, really (\uff9f\u0434\uff9f)!?<\/p>\n Reading carefully, \u2460 Visual and acoustic defects<\/strong> (However, visual display defects in the information area of the display, horn, instrument cluster, and speaker acoustic defects are covered)<\/span>, \u2461 incidental costs<\/strong> (such as towing, replacement vehicle, lodging expenses, etc.)<\/span>, and \u2462 replacement of parts subject to aging or wear and tear<\/strong> are excluded.<\/p>\n Vehicles naturally experience aging changes over time, such as exterior deterioration or increased noise, even if functionality remains unaffected. (Like leather cracking)<\/span> Some parts inevitably degrade or wear out with time. Since aging-related changes in appearance or noise and consumable part wear are not malfunctions, they are not covered by the Porsche Approved Warranty.<\/p>\n Specifically, <\/p>\n \u30fbWiper blades must be replaced or repaired at your own expense. I see\u2014so maybe it\u2019s not necessary to enroll after all.<\/p>\n My husband seems undecided and said, <\/p>\n Regarding our current Boxster, unless we win the Speedster lottery, we\u2019ll probably keep it for a while. If the engine breaks down, repairs could easily exceed one million yen, so considering that, paying about 100,000 yen per year for warranty coverage might not be a bad idea.<\/strong> It\u2019s less than 10,000 yen a month anyway\u2014I’ll ask our contact, Mr. H, about it.<\/p>\n By the way, for vehicles whose new or used car warranty or extended warranty has expired, or for used cars not certified by Porsche, there is a separate “Standalone” warranty. Its annual cost is slightly higher than the Porsche Approved Warranty: 143,100 yen per year for Boxster and Cayman, and 173,340 yen per year for Panamera.<\/p>\n I wonder what everyone else is doing? Some might say, “I\u2019m enrolled!” while others might say, “I\u2019m not enrolled but haven\u2019t had any issues.” I\u2019d love to hear your experiences!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three Years Since Purchasing Our Boxster The other day, we received a postcard from the Porsche dealer about the Boxster GTS\u2019s upcoming vehicle inspection.
