Talking Purchased '08 Cayman

After a bunch of research over the years and reading every post in this forum made the decision to buy. Picked it up yesterday. So far I love it. Got it from a Benz dealership. Black on black, 5 speed manual, 18" wheels, NAV, Bose sound system. 26k miles. Pics coming.

Congrats, did the same last year after years of shopping for the right one. Now have 26k on my 2007, purchased with 19k. Just picked up an 09 Cayenne to tackle the winter. Enjoy

So seems several of us just bought used Caymans. Anyone go for an extended warranty? Benz dealership offered me one thru Fidelity with several options/costs.

Only car I have ever purchased an extended warranty for. Just driveline through Allstate, about 1500 for 3 years. Have my first claim this week, taking it in for a leaky RMS.

I do all of my own service but purchased to ease my mind about a very unlikely IMS issue.

Default PIC

First time posting a pic. IF this works here is a shot the day I bought it. Still just as polished. We love it. Black interior looks new. Previous owner really took care of it and it is much appreciated! Came with all manuals, etc..

Looks so clean.. enjoy !!
I think fidelity ext warranty is good... that's what most people in the E60 M5 and Porsche Cayenne community seems like everyone are happy with it...but make sure it's exclusionary coverage..
