Warranty came through again
A couple of things started going wrong, hot starts (car would not turn over), passenger side window would not go down when I touched the handle, water pump bearing was ticking, suspension noise up front on the passenger side and the passenger side mirror went down when I put it in reverse but would not go up when I put it in first.
My key died recently so I found one listed on eBay by LA Dismantler with a best offer, it had the barcode and was new. I offered them $80 and they accepted it. I bought a key bank for I think $7.00 on eBay as well.
New Waterpump, Reman Starter, New Window Regulator, New Mirror Motor, Sway Bar Link and Bushing, Cut and Program the Key.
My out of pocket was $337 including sales tax. The warranty covers labor at $135 per hour and the cost at North Scottsdale Porsche is $150 so I had to pay $100 deductable, $95 for cutting and programming the key and $15 per labor hour...not bad.
So far the warranty has paid for itself + $1200 and I still have until 6/2014 or another 37K miles.
My advice if you have a car with under 50K miles buy a warranty!!!!

I have a '99 that I bought with 48K miles on it. The warranty started at 49K miles and is for 4 years or 48K miles.
I paid $2250.00 for the coverage. So far they have covered everything that Porsche has submitted right around $3500 in repairs. My coverage is good until 6/2014 or 96K miles.
The plan I bought is an EFG Deluxe Plan.
