Porsche called me old

When I began to have engine trouble at 44k miles I called porsche who called the dealership and then called to tell me that my car (2000 Boxster S) was too old and they would not participate even though the mileage was so low. I had no luck complaining further. Now the engine is for sale in the parts section here.

Warranty Good!

you were well out of warranty... is this just something you think you were able to obtain because:

a) you knew someone
b) you threatened them with something
c) you were just so nice they felt sorry for you / sob story letter / phone call

OR

are they starting to treat these types of failures differently? your car was "newer" than many of the older 986 here...not sure they would do the same for a 2000... ??

I'm curious..if you know..what it was about your situation that got them to help out financially with it?

glad to hear you have the car back on the road!
