Extended warranty for $4400. Yes/No?

I have a 01 996 that has been great as far as service.
The only items that went out when i had my extended warranty in the past was coolant reservoir. A year after my extended warranty ran out, the water pump went out.

The car now has 55k now without any warranty. I am using it as my daily driver now (i would say 8k / year). The extended warranty from EasyCare for 4yrs/48k miles with $250 deductible is around $4200.

I know these cars are pretty reliable if maintained.
Do you guys suggest I get the warranty?

(last time i paid $2800 for 3 yrs extended warranty with $100 deductibleand used it only once, and the repair was $1200)

Thanks.

Just hold on to the $4400 and enjoy your car. As you found from your last extended warranty, aside from some level of peace of mind, you came out way behind on the warranty cost.

I agree.

I was faced with a similar dilemma over extending my EasyCare warranty, and I just thought it was too expensive. The deductibles add up too!

I just had all of my plugs and 2 coil packs changed by my indy. The cost was 325... barely more than my deductible would have been (if they would have covered the plugs too).
