997 TT Extended Warranty

[1st 997 TT]

I recently purchased an 09 997 Turbo with 6500 miles.

I still have 3 years remaining of manufacturer warranty on it.

I went to see the dealer for an extended warranty, and they offered me the premium plan at about $3200 for an additional 3 years and 70K total miles.

Apparently this covers exactly the same things as the original manufacturer's warranty.

Is that a good offer? Can it be negotiated down?

Does the extended warranty really help resell value?

Any insight appreciated.

Yes that is a reasonable offer...Yes you can negotiate.. And heck yes it helps your resale! :D

I plan on extending mine in March...,Keeping the car for 2 years than selling it with 2 years left on warranty.

Saavy Porsche buyers will always look for a warranty... Especially if it's a Porsche warranty..

so what type of extended warranty are you going to get. It looks like you want to add 2 years to the 4 years standard warranty, correct?

My factory warranty actually runs out in April (my car is an 06 Carrera S.) I will get another 4 year/60k mile either from Porsche or an after market company called "Easy Care". I'm more concerned about years than mileage because I only put about 5k miles a year on my car. If I can get the dealer to give me warranty at a good price I will go with them. If not I will go with the aftermarket @ $2600 for 4 years with a $100 deductable.

I'm sure you can get your dealer to work with you. Your car is practically new.

Anybody else wants to share the price they got on an extended warranty?
