Is a CPO warranty worth $2K?

"Feedback" that I received from the 996TT forum suggested that I may have over paid due to the CPO and potentially could have done better on the deal.
Posing the similar question here has solicited a differing opinion, which I find curious.Is it because the Cayennes are DDs? Or are Cayenne owners more conservative? Don't know....

Ask what the "!" in P!g stands for...
Good luck to you...FORE

This guy seems to have something to say about the Porsche CPO Warranty.

I too cannot complain with the service I received with the CPO warranty on my CT.
I have had all the known issues rectified via the warranty with these replacement parts (Coolant pipes, water pump, coils, cardan shaft, Pcm, dripping rear window washer, air con servos, tailgate struts, Kessy control unit, Xenon bulb replacement, fuel tank vent valve, transmission control unit, brake booster vent line, check valve for oil leak around left turbo etc.).
All the negatives you read about seem to be from dealers who do not honour the warranty for some reason.

Get the CPO. I'm already up to over $10k in works (I've been tough on some items so they covered them...) and that is only within the past 4 months and 12k miles...

Re: the $2,000 going fast - I think everyone on here has probably run into something each year that was a doozie. So you're getting a cut-rate deal on a warranty that will let you sleep well at night, while the rest of us don't. If I could pay $3K right now to CPO mine for another 2 years/50K miles, I would.
The vehicle is awesome...but requires a bit of care and feeding. Loves to consume premium gas, tires, oil (through the turbos usually), hair from your head, dollars from your wallet, and as LTC points out, years from your retirement. On the other hand, there are Honda minivans.

Thanks for all the comments. I pulled the trigger and will pick up the beast on Monday. BTW, I took the collective advice from the forum and added the CPO warranty. That will cover me until May 2013.

Porsche CPO a great deal!
I paid $3K for mine (6 yrs or 100K mile extended warranty)!
I drive a lot and this is a better deal than Factory Warranty IMHO!
Good Luck!

If you bought a used pig.....I would have opted for financiers extended power train warranty.
