Default Certification?

Would you take the certified Warranty from Porsche or pass? I have 32 months left on warranty. I'm definitely keeping the car at minimum till 992 Targa GTS comes out. May buy new or I'd buy preowned like i did this one. It is $2700 for certification. I'm pretty sure there is no extended warranty that compares to a 2 yr unlimited warranty. Any thoughts?

I didn't when I had the chance on my 2012 991. But, I only have 18,000 miles on it.

Why so early? Wait until you are about 6 months from your warranty expiration...a lot can happen in just over 2 years.

I agree with Bob. You have almost 3 years of warranty left hold off till the last quarter. A lot can change in that amount of time why lose the $'s.

You already have 32 months of warranty coverage, why do you need 56 months? Take the $2,700 and buy QQQ or FDN, then after +32 months you'll have great seed-money for the 992 deposit/down-payment.

How are you being offered this? Dealer is just offering you a simple CPO warranty or is there some car buy and sell back process happening?

i thought they couldn’t do it without a car sale involved. Interested because I have 11 months warranty left and wondering what I can do.

Well, as you already know, those listed above are also all in the QQQ and FDN. I was trying to be a little more diverse for RLer NNN Investment.

Regarding AAPL, I did grab some more in January for $145. Very happy with that, as it's up +31% as of today. But I also bought some in October for +$210. But, I'm in for the long play. Dollar-cost-average......thank you Warren.

Yes, several options and plenty of time...check back in a couple years from now.

Am I missing something here? Are we talking about CPO certification being offered to someone who currently owns a vehicle?
