Porsche EV Service Protection Plan agreement (US)- Example contract

[Tooney]

Ahh, so in the U.S., the Vehicle Service Protection is the same as extended warranty, and you're able to get it even after the warranty has expired. This was his agreement and it indeed is years and miles from the Agreement Purchase Date and Current Odometer Reading! I think the Facebook poster didn't buy from a Porsche dealership so he was even able to buy it after the fact, not when the vehicle was purchased. I'm confirming with him.

The terms of the current Porsche VSP may have changed from the one I posted above.

If you want to be certain, get a dealer to send you a copy of the most current Porsche EV VSP and read it.

Page one indicates the customer agrees that the written contract is the full and complete agreement. It does not matter what the dealer sales agent, or any guy on social media tells you.

Porsche and Porsche dealers are not parties in the Porsche VSP agreement, despite the word Porsche in the title.

VSP is not the same as an extended warranty. Although it serves a similar purpose. The only extended warranty in the U.S. is via CPO, i.e., an extension of the original contract with PCNA for the factory warranty. Various VSP contracts are between the owner and a third party. The contract parties do not include PCNA, PFS, or any independently owned Porsche dealership.

That said, I did buy the Porsche-branded VSP, since the potential is there for repairs that cost tens of thousands of dollars. And the Porsche dealerships seem to like interacting with Safe-Guard, plus -- as that Facebook poster theorized -- if something does go wrong with the relationship, a dealership service department might be more amenable to compromising if their biz dept was the VSP sales broker. (I realize that has a big component of wishful thinking, but I still feel that gives the Porsche-branded VSP some sort of advantage over Fidelity.)
