I was torn about whether to extend the warranty and what eventually swayed it was to help with the re-sale. You're right that little major goes wrong with them but sometimes the small things can be fairly expensive once parts and labour add up. I only made 2 claims on the extended warranty, and whilst I probably wasn't much better worse of in overall cost of those repairs had I not taken the warranty, there wasn't much in it. Everyone's case is different but that's how mine worked out. The first claim was for a snapped gear linkage cable. It was fixed under warranty. They said they do go sometimes for no reason. The car was collected and taken to the Porsche centre. Then late that night I thought, why am I not making use of the free courtesy car (the Spyder being my only car at the time). So I arranged for a courtesy car, I think around midnight and some poor chaps had to come out at 1am to drop off a brand new 535d with 26 miles on the clock, which got me around until my car was back on the road (nice car but the way it was harvesting energy when coasting felt like it was robbing kinetic energy that I would rather have had to keep up speed at that point in time - the retardation effect felt a bit strange). A few days after getting the Spyder back the new gear linkage cable became partially detached as this time I could still get some gears. Very frustrated but the collection of the car etc took away some of the inconvenience. The second claim was for a broken button on the key. It was touch and go whether warranty covers keys, such is the abuse that keys can get, but it came through and that saved me ~£250 just before completing the sale of the car. So for me, I got back a fair chunk of 1 yr warranty extension back in claims + convenience. On the other hand, in 2 years, my current car will be too old to have a Porsche warranty extension, and I have no intention of selling it at that time, so my current mindset is to bare the costs of the smaller stuff myself and hope nothing major goes wrong! Yep the turbo is still living up to expectations. I wanted a car that always has a bit left in reserve, and for road use, this ticks that box for me. On the track might show up its GT car characteristics, but I don't plan to take it on track any time soon. I guess there's a nice feeling of having the Mezger engine back there, with it's motorsport heritage and lots of race wins attributed to that block and still taking Le Mans class wins even this year. Is it hand-built too? I must admit I don't know all the history but when I eventually get the I time will have a read about the blood-line. I haven't gotten too deep into the nostalgia side yet. Conversely to looking back, i'm not too bothered about what has superceded it either. I just like the car. I'm not excited by dynamic engine mounts or PTV etc. The only tech i'd have stuck out for if it had been available on my model would have been PDK. But it wasn't, so i'm happy with manual. What 993 variant will you go for?ORIGINAL: tyinskyCar is lovely thank you. Still enjoying it. Considering buying a 993 as an addition. Warranty is up in December, Service is due in 500 miles according to the readout on the dash, and I know it will need new tyres soon too so will be an expensive month
