That's a lot of miles... highway miles, I'm guessing. You'll run out of miles before you run out of time on any warranty.

Interesting rationalization. I'm not sure that I agree with it, but please check back in with us in four years, and we'll see.

Anyway, Porsches are pretty darn reliable, and I think that you'll find that if you take that $6K for a warranty and stick it in the bank, use it for any repairs that come up (not maintenance, just repairs) especially when you consider deductibles and such, you're better off.

And in sunny Florida, you shouldn't need tire and wheel warranties, not unless you really drive badly and like to bounce off of curbs. That stuff is for folks who live in pothole country.

Those are my opinions. They are worth approximately twice what you paid for them (a bargain).

Oh, and nice car. Love the interior. I have dual tone interior as well, in greys.

Nails and screws in your tires can happen anywhere.
