So we are back to 4C hunting again, after a rather on and off search in the past years. Always wanted an actual lightweight car to spice up the experience.
My question would be for those who put a lot of miles on their 4C, or having owned their 4C more than 4 years, in the US market.
Do you think 4k for a bumper to bumper 10 year warranty is likely to pay off (basically $400 a year)? obviously I understand nothing's for certain, and it's just probability. I also understand 4C has a number of wear and tear items which arent covered by warranties (door panels, sticky buttons, ripped or pulled leather etc.), and also 4c requires relatively higher maintenance (timing belts, chassis tightening, alignment etc.) on top of repairs.
I have used the same warranty company for quite a number of years, and on german cars such as porsches and audi, it's really a no brainer. My experience was that the payout was easily 5-10x the premium paid across 5-10 years, and sometimes a single repair would pay for the entire premium. I believe these companies are betting on the fact that people do not keep their cars for long, but I tend to keep my cars for a while and it always turned out to be a sensible choice. However, I am unfamiliar with the parts and labor rates on 4C (and parts scarcity), so I am trying to see what everyone thinks based on their experience with any faults or repairs thus far. Thank you
