Used Car Warranties
I'm actively looking to purchase a used vehicle for my son to drive, and was curious about the worth and cost of a warranty for it. Suggestions, particularly if there's a reputable outfit out there, would be welcomed. Thanks!

On average, your best option for any kind of car warranty you have to pay for is to say no. It might be worth it if you get unlucky on a major repair, but chances are you won't ever use it.

The vehicle that I'm considering has about a 1 to 5% chance of catastrophic engine failure, and a new motor is about $17,000. That's the only reason I'm even considering it.

If you are in KC...take it to Doc Willen @ http://www.rennsportkc.com/. Have him do a complete PPI on it prior to buying. Best Porsche mechanic in the mid-west...honest too.
Oil changes will NOT be $200...its not hard on these cars. Do not buy one without maintenance records...Boxsters are good cars. Last edited by BlackOp; 04-04-2016 at 02:25 PM.. |

Threw the "sensible" hat out the window, eh?
My teacher in HS had one. Fun little car. She drove me around in it a few times. Mid-engine roadsters have a driving feel like no other.

I've heard nothing but bad things about used car warranties. Pretty much what's already been said here.
