Default Autonation - good idea?

Another one of these threads!
Autonation offers a 90 days warranty on their vehicles.
Has anyone had experience buying a 997 from Autonation, and if any issues post inspections got it fixed under their 90 days warranty? Would be great to hear from folks that had this experience.
Thanks for the feedback.

Not a 997 but bought a Range Rover Sport (CPO) from AutoNation dealership in NY and had a pleasant experience. A few little fixes shortly after purchase including some programming tweaks - not sure if this was all covered as CPO or their warranty but wanted to provide some feedback. You can always ask the Sales Manager or Service Manager to provide a reference of a recent client that used their 90 day warranty service.

I bought my 997 from Autonation Audi Las Vegas. The transaction was smooth and pleasant, though it took seemingly longer than necessary considering I showed up at the dealer with a cashier's check for the exact amount of the deal. But it was hassle- and sleaze-free.

They had done their own inspection and fixed several items on the car prior to listing it for sale - rear pads and rotors, new wipers, and replaced the engine oil cooler, to the tune of ~$4500 by their math. That combined with the 90 day warranty did give me confidence in buying from them. I still pulled the carfax (was a 1 owner car) and the dealer worked with me to get a PPI done.

So ymmv as I'm sure each Autonation is different - Audi dealer is probably better than an Autonation Kia for a Porsche purchase - but my experience was positive. I did not have to use the 90 day warranty though.
