Congrats on your purchase. Drive it like you stole it. Trade up in the future. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Sure I did think I did get a reasonable price... I stated in my post that I thought I got a decent deal on it.

I'm asking for input/opinions after the fact so if it turns out I did make a big mistake, I can take into account whatever advice/opinions people have when it comes time to upgrade. Just because I thought I got a great deal doesn't mean I did. And who better to ask than people who probably know more about Porsches than I do.

Search this forum on "extended warranty" and I think you will change your mind after you read about the countless owners who have bought/used one.

Congrats! As others have said, Fidelity Platinum is really the best and the only one I would choose. For a car with PDK, I would get the warranty. But if you have the $8-15k to fix a PDK if you need a new one, then absolutely don't get one. Just adds to my enjoyment of a car when I know all I have to do is call up the dealer to get something fixed and I don't have to worry about the cost.
