Can someone confirm Porsche? I've been hearing yes.

Can someone confirm Porsche? I've been hearing yes.

I've read yes.. but there is no real confirmation.  I would imagine since Canadian Porsche's com from Porsche North America, they all fall under the same warranty terms.  Maybe you can call Porsche NA and confirm?

I am buying a 2007 Honda Pilot.  There is no Honda warranty in both US and Canada for this car once it is export from the US.  I am looking to buy a third party warranty, any suggestions or recommendations.

Thanks

[ouch11]

How about buying extended warranty from warranty direct etc?
does it apply to new or used vehicles imported from the US??

[reggie88]

I bought a dodge vehicle, and took it to a dodge dealership for DRL.
Went to pick it up, and there was no cost. They said it was still under warranty?

[admin]

Good stuff.. most manufacturers are still being semi-fair with things. 

[cfsafs]

I think that Mazda has changed its position on warranty. They now offer coverage.

Check APA website...
