Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored.

Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

really all depends on the depth of your pockets and your level of risk.
no different to:
driving with 3rd party insurance versus comprehensive OR
comprehensive with standard excess versus comprehensive and elevated excess
change IMS versus just driving .....etc
only you can really answer this one
In my situation (987.2 Spyder), the $2K extra every year is not worth it because, I don't cover more than 5000kms per year. The 987.2 does have IMS or bore score issues.
I would have thought the older the car the more valuable the warranty will be but it depend on what becomes a wear and tear item. You could argue a gear box failure is wear and tear but I believe it would be covered under the Porsche warranty, but always worth checking the fine print. Like anything you pay the premium just in case that low odd outcome occurs.
I extended the warranty on my Porsche, not so much for the warranty as my car has only done 20,000kms or so, and is very reliable, but because I think it would be very good for re-sale value when and if that time comes.
If you have owned the car at any point in time with Porsche warranty previously in place (warranty in your name), then Warranty can be reinstated before sale.
I extend mine simply because $2k against a $350k car is worth it, even moreso if you grab it when they have a discount going (i paid 3 years and got 4). I can see not doing it if the car is a lot less valuable though.
I recently sold a Cayenne, which sat around for a little while on Carsales. When I renewed the warranty (whilst the car was on the market) it sold very quickly.
I don't see it as a
value add
per se, but without a doubt it adds to the appeal & saleability of your car... I sold my Macan Turbo which at the time was a little shy of 6 years old, it had 3 or so years of manufacturer warranty on it, so for the buyer who was cross shopping, my car is the one that he bought on condition, history and of course warranty, even though he preferred to have a sunroof and my one didn't have it. Peace of mind is important subject to the complexity of the car you are adding warranty to...
Whilst I am aware of the consumer law BS, it is not going to save you when your transfer case shits itself at 10 years old, the Porsche warranty
will
cover it.
