I'm glad to report my 13 C4S CPO is going to be expiring because of mileage ![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
It's been rock solid except for some COV's so I'm willing to drive my car until the cost to fix is not logical.

I put 20K miles on my BGTS the first 12 months (Nov 17 - Oct 18). Buying my 991.2 last month will slow the mileage down on the BGTS though. The Boxster will be a weekend, autocross, and track day car now.

Don't make Porsche decisions based on Audi experiences.
My 2007 S4 Avant literally fell apart around 130k miles. Porsche makes a very different beast. I've got MT on both my Pcars and found the aftermarket warranty on my 993TT to be a complete waste.

Odds are, if you hid $4,500 in your sock drawer, you'd come out ahead in 3-4 years, and have seed money for your 992 purchase. But not everyone rolls this way. And that's why insurance companies have HUGE buildings in every major city.

Some data points I got on Fidelity from one of the folks the board recommends for that provider... car is a 2015 C2 pdk, 54k miles.
$100 deductible, Platinum plans
5 year/60k = $11,138
4/48 = $9,279
3/36 = $6,873
$250 deductible, Platinum plans
5/60 = $9,216
4/48 = $7,748
3/36 = $5,853
Red Shield was cheaper, but none of the dealerships near me will take it. That's a sign...
Anyway, some reference points.

Based on Figfish's numbers, I need to edit the sock drawer idea.

Red Shield was $4600 or so for a 3/36 exclusionary coverage. That seemed good, until my local dealer told me they refuse to take it anymore & shared stories (with accompanying unpaid bills on his desk) where Red Shield drug their feet, flat out refused to cover, or dropped the client & did a partial refund (an expensive PDK swap)...

I wouldn't buy the extended warranty unless tracking it 10 times a year and launching it at numerous autocrosses. You have enough years and miles to be comfortable. Save the money. There will be alternatives to buying a new PDK in a crate, if yours does fail down the road.
But, take the previous poster's advice and get it thoroughly checked out b4 your CPO expires.
