Viper-
on your car - with your miles - any REAL warranty is going to cost you a TON. think $5000-7500+.
you get what you pay for. These companies don't stay in business by taking a couple grand from you, then turning around and paying out three times that in expenses. They are going to assess what they are going to pay - and then charge you MORE. if they are charging you a fee that seems "too good to be true" - it is - it means they won't be paying on your future claims and they now it.
I checked into warranties when I bought my car. My car is a 2000 base and it had about 74k when I bought it. the local dealer told me they only sell ONE brand of warranty and nothing else. they are legit - they pay out. I could go into details if you want..but for the sake of argument - this warranty company doesn't nickel and dime you or wesael out of paying. if something goes wrong - they pay.
on my car, for 3 yrs of coverage or up to 100k miles - it was going to cost $5000.
so 25000 more miles of coverage and they wante $5000.
if my car had only had 20k miles or less, the same coverage was only $1800 or so.
your car is going to cost a lot to insure. forget it. just save your money and fix stuff along the way.
just my suggestion. I looked into the warranty, and like you, wanted peace of mind, and ultimately learned that the peace of mind was just too $$$$ and not worth it - not on an older car where they want to rape you on the price of the coverage.
if you truly want peace of mind and get more for your money - instead of psending $5000 to some warranty company - sell your car, and roll that $5000 into a newer CPO car from a dealer. you then put that money to work for you by getting a newer/faster/better Boxster AND you get a warranty too.
