Hi,

I know about the porsche extended warranty. Since this is second car for me, i will drive it probably 2000 - 3000 miles à year. Porsche charges 2.370$ for a years extended warranty. I find that too expensive for the use i make of the car. The options i'm looking at now:
- just drive it, see what happens try to gain confidence and try to sleep at night
- try to take some preventive mechanical action, like fitting newer improved RMS and IMS bearing.
- sell the car and buy a BMW

At the moment i'm into the second option

Furthermore i agree on Tool pants comments. It's a pity. If this thing grows much bigger on the internet, Porsche is going to get its reputation damaged. I was planning on driving the 986 for 3 years and then move on to a 987. If i end up with major damage on this 986, my money will be going to BMW or Audi in the future.

Greetz,
Jan
