Question I don't have it. Do you?

CPO warranty for my 2006 C2 expired back in March this year. Currently, my car has 48k miles on it and has been trouble-free
for the past 4 1/2 years. It had 40K service performed early this year at the dealership where I bought my car from.
It's kind of scary to read about some of the major engine issues that some of us have been experiencing. I think I want to
keep my car for maybe another year or two until I can afford a GTS.
Would it be a good idea to buy one of those warranties against possible breakdown or is it better to pay for the repairs
out of my pocket? I am curious to know what percentage of you guys bought aftermarket extended warrenty after
the manufacturer's warranty expired. And if you do recommend purchasing a warranty, which ones should I look into?

This guy's engine just potentially got f&^#'ed. He has aftermarket insurance. Lucky for him.

You'll get a lot of people who are for it and a lot of people who don't have it.

I have it. Peace of mind. Shop around, prices vary vastly. I got the the best offer from a Porsche dealership.

Buy the insurance and keep it up until you sell the car. It will be a major PLUS point when you negotiate your selling price... and, you will have peace of mind...

I have it...EasyCare. Came in handy twice. Once for RMS and once for a window actuator that needed replacement. They also replaced a missing AC vent.

My CPO warranty runs out in February. After reading the "High Mileage Cars" thread here, I have decided to not buy the extended warranty. Mine is an 07 C4S with 46K miles.

Piece of mind is priceless,....without you are self insured, I'm sure you know that. These are excellent cars. Keep up the maintenance and try not to abuse.

Unless you are wealthy I suggest any expensive car, whether a Porsche, BMW, etc that you have a warranty. We all know **** happens and when it does its real expensive to repair. True story - 06' BMW 525 had 50075 mi on it, warranty ran out at 50K, the main computer died, $3500 repair. A 2nd party extended warranty cost 3k for 4 yrs, no brainer! Lucky for me the dealer covered it - then I spent 3k and never looked back.

When my CPO runs out in 14' I will either sell or get an extended warranty - I personally will not own a car of this value without one.
