Warranty - void period - what to do?
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 8:23 pm
Ok, So I got greedy and bought 2 cars within a very short time of each other.
It was all about man maths (at least that's what i told Mrs Wilpert)
Basically, Mrs has been using our old but reliable, RR sport TDV8 diesel, a bit of a beast but a solid car, with 133k on the dial.
i was in in a decent and sensible BMW 430d X drive, again a solid car but it wasnt what I'd been used to and i just yearned for my Porsche back.
So I sold the beemer and bought a very low miles Boxster 981 s, which is a lovely little car, a bit heavy on the juice for a daily and i do cover quite a few miles, (up to 500 a week) hence me getting one with low miles to give me some catch up time.
Anyway, stay with me on this long story - Mrs Wilpert got a new job and shes doing 40 miles a day and some more at weekends. So i bit the bullet and bought her a Macan DS.
So we now have the Boxster - my daily
the Macan Mrs W's daily
AND the RR sport - my intended winter wheels to rest up the Boxster as its well sorted and not worth a lot to a buyer due to the high miles.
Problem I have is that both the Boxster and the Macan, only have around 4 weeks of warranty left and I can't extend it until i have owned them for 3 months.
So what do i do, risk it and just keep driving both of our daily drivers - then get the warranty as soon as Porsche will allow?
Or rest up one of them and use the RR until I can get the Warranties.
Just to expand on the warranty thing - for those who don't know, you can only get a Porsche warranty after 3 months of ownership and when a multipoint check has been done by Porsche.
Am I being paranoid and overthinking things, FWIW both cars are up to date with service and both have a 12 month MOT.
