My dilemma...

I can get an extended bumper to bumper for 4 additional years or 22,xxx more miles for $1,050 through my credit union. OR, I can purchase an '02 Boxster Cab with 18,510 miles for $23,000. It has heated seats and hi-fi audio with in dash CD, which I assume is better than stock? But, my credit union wants $3000 for the same warranty, which is 4 years from the date you sign the warranty or 60,000 total miles. Just looking for some input about the '02 Boxster. One other thing, I live in Chicago, so no garage, just an open parking space off the street. Don't know if this would cause problems with the top, etc. Thanks for the input.

I would look over the fine lines of any extended warranty. I bought a warranty *sucker I was, I guess* and I was not covered for many items such as RMS leak and they even had a deductible of $75 for any warranteed claims. Look over the fine print. In my experience I have found that it's better to pay after as opposed to before, unless you have a fully comprehensive warranty, which will likely cost you more

I have a 04' Jaguar XJR with a new pully on the supercharger. Has about 450 horsepower. The car is a rocket. Much fast than my '00 Boxster (non-S).
The car is more comfortable, has a much better sound system, NAV, BBS wheels, etc.

And when I have a choice on which car to drive:

NO QUESTION, I DRIVE MY BOXSTER

You just have to drive one to know why.

Guys, esp 'Teacher', I hate to be the one to point this out, but some of the threads you've been responding to are almost 2 years old.
