Heck, the top alone costs what a transmission rebuild costs on a lot of other cars. Sure you don't want one that's more comprehensive?

All I care about is a catastrophic engine failure... that would be the only issue that would pose an problem for me.
Couple of grand for a repair I can live with.. 5-10K for a motor I could not live with

Hello everyone,

I have an '00 S. Does anybody know where I can buy the extended warranty. My S currently has 58K miles. I just want to buy the extended warranty for safety purposes. I checked out the warrantydirect.com site and noticed that it only covers for vehicle from '01 up. Also, some other warranty sites do not cover for vehicle in California. Please let me know!

Thanks

Richard

Check this site out.....www.apiprotection.com . This is the warranty I have used . I purchased it in 2005 in Hawaii on my '98. It had almost 49,000 on it, I got the PremierPlus coverage as well for 3 years/36k. I did not use it in Hawaii, but after moving to Illinois I needed my cam covers resealed, and they took care of it. That work almost paid for the warranty, and I still have about 22 months left on the contract. Covers a lot too.....

You can always buy and extended warranty at the end of the factory period. I just bought an addtl "bumper to bumper" 4 years up to 70K miles from Warranty Direct for ~$1200.00. Like bmussatti said, put the $3500 in an acct for 4 years - you'll have enough to buy the extended "free." By then, you'll know your car well enough to make an intellegent choice. Also, remember the dealer makes a profit on all the X warranty sales.

I checked with warranty direct at it will cost $1600 for 7/75k. I can still wait until the end of the warranty to see it I need the extended warranty. Even thought it will cost more at the end of the warranty. I have to see it I will keep this car after the warranty. I spoke with a Porsche mechanic and he feels boxster in not a car keep beyond the warranty. The 911 is much better for long usage.

Thanks for all your answer. They have been very helpful.

Thats an odd statement.
