I had the same misgivings regarding extended warranties...with warranty direct, it looks like a pretty good product. Unlike other warranties, they actually administer their own claims but they're not true "warranties" so to speak. They actually are selling an insurance policy (mechanical breakdown coverage) which would fall under the auspices here, in where I live, under the California Department of Insurance.

Out here in California, its pretty stringent and the fact that they are licensed here bodes well for them.

I've searched the other boxster forums as well and warranty direct was hailed as being an excellent product.
