Well, I should clear up the issue with my porsche. This is only 1 of my 3 vehicles that I own and it's just weekend car (4-5K miles per year). I got the warranty because 'pbanders' is right, the cost advantage of my having the warranty is worth it to me. I have a warranty on my Porsche and Lexus but not my Land Rover (I know, I must be out of my mind). The thing is, the rover is like a large Ford SUV, easy to work on (I use to work on Truimphs and have the a full British tool set). On the other hand, my Porsche and Lexus are way too complicated for even an immediate mechanically inclined person. It's not worth my time (time value of money vs. leisure time) to try to fix those cars so I just get the warranty on them. By the way, if you are indecisive on whether or not to get a Porsche warranty over a third party warranty just to save a few hundred dollars on your "porsche," you shouldn't own one. I'm not trying to be an a##, but the boxster, by far, is the least do-it-yourself car to work on and the parts are just as expensive as 993s (911). Also, it's where you live as well. In Austin, TX there are very few third party mechanics that will work on a boxsters or caymans. I kind of have to take it to the "only" porsche dealership in Austin...and if you have a warranty from the dealership as oppose to third party coverage, they seem to be more willing to cover the repairs under warranty. It has worked out for me.
