				Extended Service Plan
			 
 
			I purchased a 2001 Boxster S with 15,000 miles on it several weeks ago from a used car dealer.  The car was placed in service in June 2001 acording to the stamp in the warrenty book.  I visited my local Porsche dealer last week to look into purchasing an extended warrenty.  They told me that the service date did not matter.  The warrenty will be up on 2/28/05 according to their computer.   Anyway I told them that I was interested in purchasing an extended warrenty.  They told me that since I didn't purchase the car from them and they did not know the car they would not sell me the product.  I then asked them to price an upgrade and they said that they would call me with a quote.  They never called.  Fortunatly I have a good car with no problems that I am aware of as it was inspected buy another Porsche dealer before the purchase and they said it was OK.  Is this behavior standard in the industry. I am not motivated to shop my next car from their dealership.  Should I shop an extended warrenty from another vender or should I forget about it.
