any aftermarket warranty that's being used by members here in the board that you can suggest....i'm new and looking at a 996 turbo and wanted peace of mind when i pick it up...your recommendation is greatly appreciated...thanks

 

The best pre-owned warranty is through a Porsche Dealer. It is almost the same as a new car warranty. It will give you 2 years or up to a total of 100k miles. To get that warranty you do need to buy the car at a Porsche Dealer.

 

My Porsche dealer (Ed Napleton Prosche, Westmont, IL) sold me (should have said I bought from my dealer) an Easy Care Total Car. Paid for itself several times over. You are required to have a pre-purchase inspection done by the dealer who sells you the policy.

 

Didn't notice before that you are in Northbrook, Il. The guy I would call at Napleton is Fred in service (630-725-0911).

 

i called porsche exchange and ask a quote and was told the same thing inspection from porsche dealer $300, if theres anything wrong it needs to be fixed prior to issuance of warranty. is this about right 2years/24k=2200, 3yrs/36=2800, 4yrs/48k=3600

 

The inspection is about right. My warranty was $3000+300 (inspection) and my car had 39,000 miles on it when I bought it and it was 30 month and 30,000 miles.

It was also not the stated coverage package. It was total care. total care is worth the extra dough.
