I had only about 60days left on the factory warranty...and no expirence with Porsche to speak of, so I bit for an extended 'service contract' (I think that's how they get around the state insurance comissions.)
Rather than ones where you simply pre-pay for repairs you might not need .. with this one: I paid up-front...BUT: I get most of the money back if I don't use it. This cotract expires in March 2010, or 80,000mi (I have about 17,500 now) and of the total cost of $1920.- I get $1810. back if I don't use it.
