Great deal on a warranty?

I was at my local dealer getting my summer tires put on yesterday and asked the service manager if they would sell a warranty for my 911. I have a 2013 991 Carrera S cabriolet with 67k miles on it.

To my surprise he quoted me $8200 for 4 years/48k miles, that would mean by the end of the warranty period my car would be 10 years old or c 125k miles. He said the coverage was pretty much the same as CPO and the deductible per visit would be $50.

Now I know we are uncharted territory with how the 991 will hold up as we reach these mileages and age, but it looks like a good deal to me.

What do you guys think?

If it were up to me I'd pass - but if you anticipate that you'll have $8200 worth of issues with your car in the next 48 months, then go for it.
$2000 a year for coverage is pretty steep, especially seeing that it doesn't cover your $1800 major services.

When a dealer tells you that it's "pretty much the same as CPO" read the fine print.

Good luck..

Honda is an unknown quantity at this point
I'd put that away in a rainy day fund... These cars are fairly reliable.

That is obscene. Self fund it and you will be way ahead!
