What's the likely cost of a service and extended warranty on a 4 year old Cayman GTS. Is the warranty available for 1 or 2 years?

1 or 2 years, yes.
2 years around £2,500 for major service, 111 point check, and 2yr warranty all in.
Get the 111 point check fee waived if you tie all in together. Then around £2,300.

Yes it would, but my local dealer is not open right now.

Why post if you have nothing constructive to say? I thought the idea of these forums was to share experiences and get advice from others. #GRUMPY

Yes I have recently bought a Cayman so following with interest. I don’t really post much but get frustrated when I see pointless posts like the one earlier.

Service alone £975 at participating centres.

I am being quoted now £1,840 for 2 years on my 991.2 plus £275 Assistance plus 111 point check at £180 or £90 if rich service. 1 year £1,020 plus £169 Assistance plus etc.

Does the warranty cost vary with the model?

Yes

I am looking to extend the warranty on my Boxster 981 and for 2 years it is £1190 plus 275 for assistance

...plus 111 point check at £216 inc.VAT unless waived/discounted.

PS. In 2018 Sutton Coldfield OPC quoted £900 for major 4yr service whereas Leicester wouldn't budge from £1150.

I went to SC OPC to save £250. Big mistake. HUGE.

PPS. Assistance may be cheaper with your insurance or stand alone. Maybe not as good? Last time I had BMW Assistance they damaged two wheels (which they subsequently replaced FOC after I moaned).
