Question about extended warranty.(987)

[franz229]

I just pick my new Boxster 2006 last Saturday and the dealer Offer me an extended warranty at gold level for
$3,500 and it will cover 6 years /70K miles.
The car comes with 4 years 48k miles. So the $3.500 will
Only cover 2 extra years and 22k extra miles.

Do you think it is a good Idea to buy extended warranty
for the Boxster?

Thanks

Total rip-off. Get a SecureCare+ warranty for 7 years, 75k miles from WarrantyDirect.com

This covers EVERYTHING on the car, bumper to bumper. If you add the optional emissions coverage, you get coverage for things like mass-air flow sensor and O2 sensors (pricey items that will need to be replaced).

Total price for your car (2006 Boxster) with $0 deductible: $2045.

Heck the most expensive coverage, 7 years, 100k miles, is only $2565.

Take the $3,500 and put it into an interest bearing account for any future non warranty repairs.

Hey, we are all just guessing.

Nobody can predict what will happen at the end of your factory warranty.

Good luck.

Agreed. All an extended warranty reall is, is an insurance policy. If you buy it and you have to replace the engine in 5 years, then a top replacement in 6, it will have been a good investment. Or you could have nothing for 7 years and you just threw away $2000. It's all a crapshoot.

But the cheapest way is to buy it now. For example, my 2002 S runs out of warranty next month and it will be around $3000 for a 4 year (from date of purchase), 75k mile warranty.

I have been thinking about a warranty for the 01S I just bought, all I want is powertrain coverage. Anyone have a reputable company thats offers just powertrain?

(Cause reading this forum is making me PARANOID! )

Thanks
