Extending the warranty

I've got about 12 months and 37k miles left on the original warranty of my 03 C2 (I think that's right - is the warranty 50k or 60k?). What are my options of extending the warranty for an extra year or two? Can I do it through PAG/PCNA? Is there a way to get the CPO (+2 yr / 100k) warranty? I thought I read people saying most, if not all, 3rd party warranty companies suggested had gone under. EDIT: This is what I'm talking about. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/245022-1sourceautowarranty-com-is-broke.html

Original warranty is for 4/50. CPO can only be done by dealer when they are selling a pre-owned car, you can't buy CPO for your car.

Okay - so any suggestions on where I can reliably extend the warranty?

So I can't extend my current CPO?

Since the warranty issue seems to come up a lot, I thought I would relay information I got from a local dealer today. Hennessey ( www.hennesseyporsche.com ) resells an extended warranty from Easy Care ( www.easycare.com) , which is evidently backed financially by Ford Motor Co. They only sell the Total Care package which covers everything but wear & tear items. They priced out the basic package which is for 3 yrs / 60k miles for $1977. The warranty is honored by all Porsche dealerships nationwide, as well as any ASE certified independent. Here is a sample of what is covered under the warranty: Engine All internal, lubricated parts Cylinder Block Cylinder Head(s) Harmonic Balancer Timing Chain Timing Belt Balance Shaft Belt Gears Pulleys Guides and Tensioners Oil Pump Intake and Exhaust Manifold Diesel Engine Vacuum Pump Engine Mounts The following parts are covered only if damaged by the failure of an internal, lubricated part: Cylinder Barrels Timing Chain Cover Valve Covers Oil Pan Rotor Housing Transmission/Transfer Case All internal, lubricated parts Flywheel Transmission Mounts Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder Shift Linkage, Cables and Bushings External Switches & Solenoids Electronic Controller Shift Lever Back Up Light Switch Speed Sensor Speedo Cable Neutral Safety Switch Torque Converter Lock Up Solenoid Tail Shaft Housing Bell Housing The following parts are covered only if damaged by the failure of an internal, lubricated part: Transmission Case Oil Pan Transfer Case Drive Axle (Front/Rear) All internal, lubricated parts Drive Shafts Axle Bearings Drive Axles Stub Axles Tripod Joints Universal Joints Constant Velocity Joints and Boots Locking Hub Assembly Drive Axle Housing if damaged due to the failure of an internal, lubricated part Suspension (Front/Rear) Upper and Lower Control Arms Control Arm Shaft and Bushings Upper and Lower Ball Joints King Pins and Bushings Torsion Bars Strut Bar and Bushings Stabilizer Bar Links and Bushings Wheel Bearings Knuckle Spindle and Support MacPherson Strut Housing not including Shock Absorber or Insert Coil Spring Leaf Spring Trailing Arm Track Bar Strut Bearing/Plates Radius Rod And Bushings Steering Dampener (Shock) Steering Knuckle Wear Sleeve Electronic Level Control Programmer Electronic Level Control Compressor Pressure Limiter Compressor Relay Height Sensor Dryer Air Bag Compressor Assembly Steering All lubricated parts contained within the Steering Gear Box Rack Assembly Control Valve Power Steering Pump Power Cylinder Assembly Pitman Arm Idler Arm Tie Rod Ends Drag Link Steering Column Shaft and Coupling Rack Bushings Air Conditioning Condenser Evaporator Compressor Accumulator Receiver Dehydrator Clutch, Pulley and Field Coil Idler Pulley and Bearing Expansion Valve P.O.A.

looks like a good deal to me.

Reading the Easycare website it says: EasyCare vehicle service contracts are available at nearly 1,000 dealers across the United States. EasyCare vehicle service contracts cannot be purchased from Automobile Protection Corporation directly or through this website. We will be happy to refer you to a dealer in your area. So if I buy a car from a private party, how do I get this warranty??????

You should be able to get it from any local dealer. The only stipulation from mine is that it had an oil change within the last 6 months, but I am still under factory warranty. My guess is that if you are not, some sort of inspection would be the only pre-requisite. You could probably get one from Hennessey (here in Atlanta) and have them mail you the paperwork if your local dealer does not sell them. For info, call Michael Caldwell @ [phone removed]. I just spoke with him this morning.
