I think Mike has a point, but with a car that costs so much to repair the warranty does pay for itself quickly. My warranty has already paid almost $5k, and I only paid $3k for the warranty. A warranty isn't worth it for a Honda that cost $1k to replace the engine, but when it cost $10k in a Porsche, I would say a warranty is definitely recommended.

That $5k covered a radio replacement, driver's buckle replacement, bent skid plate (not from me), and vacuum leak (also not me). And those are fairly common problems among Boxster's (except the bent plate) but cost a lot to repair.
