Boxster aftermarket warranty question

[mikes_box]

just wondering to all the boxster owners who did not buy their cars new or who bought from a private party. if you purchased an aftermarket warranty, which company did you use and approximately how much do they cost. also have they paid for claims presented. really curious abut the one ones who had to have their engines replaced. thanks y'all

The warranty cost equals the cost of a used engine out of a wreck for an '01

Or did last time I was quoted. In my case, over $3k for a 13 month warranty.

I bought a 3 yr powertrain warranty for about $1400 from and learned that these sales people would say ANYTHING to sell their product. They may both lie and/or are not knowledgeable of their product. I have never been so skeptical that I got screwed. I haven't had a claim, and I just hope that the claim process is more honest than the sales. Mine was purchased from AA Auto Warranty. I can't say that every sales person was as bad as the one that I encountered, but I would not be too hopeful.

I never bought an extended warranty before and do not recommend such a product generally, but with a car that too often can experience engine failures that can cost 2/3 of the value of the car, I could not sleep well without a warranty.

couldn't get an aftermarket warranty for mine because it was a Boxster. But I still bought the car. :)
