lol...ya right...i wish blue boxster's didn't leak....

my porsche dealer offered me an in-house aftermarket warranty. how it kinda works is i pay $3500 for lets say 4 years. in this 4 years i can have as many repairs done, covered by warranty and i dont get any money back if i claim under warranty. this should cover the rms and engine. n if in the 4 years i don't have any major work done and don't use my warranty. they well give me my $3500 back.

anyone heard of a warranty like this before........

I got mine at a Rick Hendrick and the warrenty should be good at any import shop. All I have to pay is a $50 deductible for each visit. And it does not cover wear and tear.
What is the deal with the gaskets?
And what is a rear seal?

The rear seal, the Rear Main Seal, is one of the problem areas in the 986 engine. Although, through my research (don't have a Boxster yet, about to pull the trigger on a 2001 base), if it happens, it mostly amounts to an annoyance.

If your warranty covers seals and gaskets, then a leaking RMS would be covered. It's a somewhat costly repair, IIRC. Better to be able to have it done for your $50 deductible, than completely out of pocket!
