  1. I have decided to pass on the extended warranty as I also believe the cost/benefit isn't there. The company I was looking at is Fidelity which I have heard nothing but good things about. Interesting in that the dealer had the best price on the warranty. Thanks for all the feedback. We'll see what happens especially now that we have 3 cars with no warranty.

  2. Looking for thoughts on an extended warranty on a 2007 S. The OEM warranty ends in a week so I am considering purchasing a 6 year 60k for $5200. The vehicle has been very reliable with only a couple of warranty repairs, none were mechanical. I feel that the most likely stuff to go is the convertible top push rods, sensors, switches and in rare cases something mechanical which makes it tough to justify the warranty cost. But if something mechanical does go it will be expensive. This is a summer fun car with less than 25k miles. Thoughts???

  3. I would just go ahead an replace it and not be concerned. The battery in my 07 987s is disconnected all winter while in storage with no issues for the past 3 years. I also replaced the battery last spring and didn't do anything to maintain voltage. If the windows don't work in auto mode just lower them all the way and raise them back up manually. They should be reset. One time there was a error code that prevented the window from working properly in auto mode, the dealer reset it.

  4. Keep in mind that reformulated fuels in use in many places in the US will start to deteriorate after 30 days. Non reformulated fuel (pure gasoline) has a shelf life of about 90 days.

    Very good point on the fuel. I fill the tank with non-oxy fuel (usually the last couple of fills are non-oxy) before storing for the winter and also use a stabilizer. Since I store in an heated facility (45 to 50 degrees) I don't do much other than increase the tire pressure to 50 psi to prevent flat spots. I also throw in a couple of dryer fabric sheets for fragrance and some contend it keeps out rodents (an old boat storage trick). The place I store at disconnects the battery since charges are against code. No problems the past 2 winters.

  5. I am convinced the clear bra is the way to go. In a trip through Colorado and Utah the clear bra took a beating especially with bugs. A good cleaning with polish and wax did the trick. I would suggest adding some around the rear intakes since this area is wider then the front. We received severe rock damage in this area to the point of needing to be painted (dang road construction). I will add the clear covering after this is done.

    As a testament to the durability of the clear bra I was in a bad spot in heavy traffic one morning and had to stop very fast. To keep from getting rear ended I let up on the brakes a bit but now found myself too close to car in front and came up a few inches short. The rear bumper of the car in front went over the license plate bracket and left a scrap on the Bosxter front bumper. Peeled the clear bra off the bumper and not a scratch. Had the clear bra reinstalled, replaced the license plate bracket and all set. It's really good stuff!!
