I could not find CWS. Do you have a link that you can post.

I went with Warranty Direct as they seemed to have the best combo of coverage and price. Move quickly - they will cover cars that are out of the factory warranty but you will need to have it checked out by an authorized shop and possibly make repairs. My '01 cost about $2200 for top of the line coverage for an extra 4 years or up to 100k miles, including emmisions system protection.

My Boxster was out of warranty but only had 10,000 miles so I guess I got a really low price. The rep said well maintained 2000 and above Boxsters are very reliable. Regualr scheduled maintenance is not covered under warranty but still required for reimbursement of future claims. The maintenance can be done at any ASE certified garage, which includes most oil change places. THe rep said if an uexpected problem was determined by service center to have occured because of lack of maintenace the claim will be denied.
I asked for a list of items that are not covered under their normal wear and tear 50,000 mile coverage. This is seperate from the "no matter what happens" covered parts like the transmission and engine. I'll post it once they send it over.

Warrenty Direct quoted me about $2100 with $100 deductable for 4 years and 60,000 miles. Should I go for it?

That's the quote I got for 6 years and 70,000 miles.
Call CWS and get a quote and then see if Warranty Direct will match it.
How long do you plan to keep the car?
By the way, the warranty is transferable in case you sell the car, you have 30 days to do it after you transfer ownership. A nice selling point.

The rep told me that the price goes up for every 3,000 miles that are on the car. Maby that was part of the difference. They would not quote me a 6 year policy at all. How long ago did you buy the warrenty? I'm not sure how long I will keep the car. It is not my daily driver. It is my weekend toy. If it becomes a pain for any reason then I will sell it.

I bought the warranty last month. Its a daily driver for me. But my daily drive is five minutes to a train station. But on th weekends I put at least 100 miles on the Boxster. I also plan on attending driving schools and track instruction.
Insurance is so expensive here in NJ that holding onto a car for too long becomes a losing proposition so I plan on selling the Boxster for a 911 (Targa) at some point. Or maybe I'll keep it and get a CayenneS Two Porsches in my garage, cool.

Did you have to do anything special to get this price? I am looking for the same warranty and was quoted quite a bit more from Warranty Direct. Thanks!

What is your deductable with that $2200 quote?
