Extended warranty for used car?

[compuwiz1]

Do you believe in extended service agreements, when buying a used car?

Hypothetical situation:

2003 Porsche Boxter
9 mos of original factory warranty remains, but car has 43,000 miles on it. Factory warranty expires 4 years from original date of delivery to original owner, or total mileage of 50,000.

You are going to finance this car for 6 years. Car qualifies for a 6 year from date of sale, or 100,000 mile extended service agreement. Keep in mind your payment is already going to be $750 per month +/-, so now it might be $825 +/-

So, do you take out this insurance?
Why?
Why not?

you must be a rich man.

$825/month
+ $200+/insurance
+ $200/gas

= $$$ month

compuwiz1 = the rich

I found an extended warrenty on a used car to be priceless as my last used car had to have an engine replaced and it would've cost me twice what the extended warrenty cost.
a porche is an awesomely built car though and if you baby it and take care of it with regular maitenence you should have no problems...

Uh, those aren't my bills.

Mine:

$1326 pmt for both cars.
+ 196 Insurance (you were close)
+ $400/gas, except in boating season, then it's $1000+ :Q
