2nd 2008 Carrera S owner extended warranty recommendation
I am the 2nd 2008 Carrera S owner and looking for extended warranty recommendation. The car is still in manufactory warranty with 23k miles and the warranty is to expire soon. I wonder if Porsche would sell its extended warranty to non-original owner. If not, which 3rd-party carrier will be a good chose.

I just purchased an extended warranty from Fidelity Warranty Services. Marketed via new car dealers. Used by Audi as their private label extended warranty. EasyCare is another one but a bit pricier.
Do a search on Rennlist and "the other" site and you will find a wealth of info.

Ed,
The newer Carreras are chock full of electronics that would cost a fortune if they become fried. My 2011 3 series with Nav had a sudden red screen and it cost (not me) $2,700 in parts and labor to fix. Cost benefit analysis is one part. The insurance of not having to worry about a nav screen going red (or blue) is worth something. My cost for my extended warranty on the 997S works out to be less than my daily tall Starbucks coffee and I now have another 7 years 70K miles of insurance.
No excitement....just some comfort.
