Default Anybody a little worried about our warranty on the 997s...
...now that we see the writing on the wall, is it a good time to buy an extended warranty? Will these warraties still work if Porsche goes "puff" or will it only kick in after the 4th year? Wonder if the German government will take over just like we have with GM and honor the warranties.

i'm not worried at all. Porsche owns 51% of VW which is probably worth $30b. they just have a cash flow issue right now.

There is nothing to worry about with Porsche's near future nor distant future.

With all the folly going around, I have no concern about PAG's future and the warranty/servicing of our cars.

The future of PAG from its independence perspective and new car designs that is another issue.

Fiat? A competing bid from Tata perhaps?
