Extended Warranty?

Extended Warranty?
Hey there my friends, I'm picking up my GT3 tomorrow...HURRAY! However, the dealership has posed the idea of getting an extended warranty. I plan on keeping my car forever; as a result, would you put down the extra money for one? Is it necessary? It would be a financial hit because I specifically setup my finances to afford the price I am paying and any higher would be stretching it. Thoughts?

As far as I know Porsche doesn't sell extended warranty or Pre paid service plans on GT cars. So if it's through another company do your research so if and when you need it they won't nickel and dime you.

they recently changed this policy - Porsche does offer it for GT cars now

How likely is it that you will keep this car "forever"? Be honest with yourself. Have you said this before only to chase after something else a few years later? I know I have.
If the answer really is "likely," and the warranty is Porsche OEM, and the warranty is cheaper than what you can get a few years down the road, then sure why not?

They do offer extended warranty on GT3. It was presented when I signed papers. Can be bought from any dealer up until new car warranty runs out. You can also renew it before it expires.
Benefits of buying at car purchase as I see it. You can work into financing, price is today's value, price is more negotiable at sale of new car.

When i was shopping for used GT3, i was quoted anywhere from 3k to 5k. Just depends on what margin dealer making on your sale. It adds 2 years past manufacturs warranty and goes for unlimited miles, which is bonus for people like me, 5 years, i should have 50 to 60k miles on. So worth it

Its a rigorous inspection and tires and other items would have to be new. Believe me, i know, spent 4 months looking to buy used gt3, talked to 20 or more dealers.

As i just said, I spent last 4 months looking for gt3 with cpo, which i just picked up 2 weeks ago, so what i wrote above is 100% correct, at least in the USA.
