the only way to get a porsche-backed warranty is to buy the car from porsche, either new or CPO. they do not offer a warranty through other dealers. remember - a lot of used car salesmen will say just about anything to close a deal. i'm sure once you see the paperwork does not include the name "porsche" the next statement would be "it's the same company that backs porsche's warranty."

secondly, most aftermarket warranties are quite restrictive, especially once you need it. you'd probably be better served to save your money. if you do decide to get one, check for clauses like "competitive" racing - no AX, DE, etc. make sure that you are bound to only the MFR recommended maintenance schedule and that you can do your own work or select your own mechanic, and over revs do not void the warranty. ask if the clutch is considered a wear item or covered, etc...

$2500 for 6 yr/82k miles is quite cheap, i personally would be leary.
