Newbie - considering late 993 v early 996: Does anyone have any experience/knowledge of what practical warrantee cover can be acquired/recommended that would provide "˜real' cover to cars of the 96-99 year range and probably 50-70k mileage. I appreciate the 996 engine failure scenario may be oversold given the nature of such forums but am still concerned on this risk and would consider paying for peace of mind if close to reasonable. Any experience on cover options + cost and reality of this cover would be appreciated. I can just hear that "normal wear and tear" comment now from Mr faceless insurance man .. I believe Porsche will take back into the fold such cars and provide good cover but costs likely to be £8-900 per annum and I guess hidden costs would be forced OPC servicing and maintenance uplift charges over independent.
Am hopefully realistic re expectations but again would be grateful for any feedback on typical "" no big issue "" running costs per annum. Low mileage say 4-6k pa. Any what is a bad year re respective models. What cost gearbox, engine replace, diff failure. I know they are v rare but shit happens sometimes and would like to have my eyes open on the way in"¦
