Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi All, Just thought I'd say hi. I just closed on my first Porsche earlier today and I'm pretty pumped about it. It was a pretty sweet deal with less than 30k miles and under $35K. I'm planning on getting an extended warranty to ward off any disasterous repairs (which are unlikely - I hope). Does anyone have any suggestions or tips? Thanks, Tim
Congrats, what are the details on the car you purchased?
Congrats...my only suggestion is to post a pic of your new 996!!! The fun is just about to start for you AK
1999 Carrera Black / Black 29,000k miles I'm pretty excited. I've wanted one since I was about 8 years old.
Very nice my friend. Congrats!! It's a very special vehicle, but I think you know that
I'll get some pictures up this weekend. I'm picking the car up on Friday (I've got to go out of town on business tomorrow). I can't wait for the weekend!!
Congrats and welcome! If you are looking for aftermarket warranties, I would suggest if you can find a place locally, as you may be able to get better rates/more coverage. However, if you can't, there are national warranty companies such as Warranty Direct and 1 Source Auto Warranty, which I've heard good things about (through research on the web). One last thing... get some pics up!
I think I've found one. Its for 4 years or until the odo reads 75k for $2200. Bumper to bumper coverage. The website was http://aaaautowarranty.com/ . The finance manager at the dealership where I bought the car contacted a local Porsche dealership and I'm going to talk with them tomorrow. I'll check out warranty direct. I've had pretty good luck with extended warranties. I had one for my old Land Rover and it easily paid for itself.
I am newbie to this forum, but have ben driving porsches off and on for 30 years. i never considered buying an extended warranty until i read the about the RMS issues. i have a 996 and Boxster and all of a sudden, i'm scared to death. Does anyone have opinion on the best place to purchase a plan?
ekename - be sure to read the "fine print" when a warrnty says bumper to bumper. There are many plans out there claiming to offer bumper-to-bumper coverage, but few can actually claim true coverage. Just a FYI
