The CPO takes you to 6 years. The 5 years from the factory plus the 1 year you get with the CPO. They then give you the option to purchase an additional year making it a total of 7 years. I think the dealership tried to sell it to me for $1,800 and I told them to pound sand. I got it for $1,200 and one of their fancy $150 Jaguar jackets.

EDIT -> Sounds like you'll have to pay for both years. I bought mine as a CPO so the cost of the first year was rolled into the sticker.

Go with RWD in a V6 and extended warranty (100,000 miles in my case). I’ve owned a 2015 RWD F-Type S coupe and a 2016 RWD F-Type S coupe. I now own a 2018 AWD F-Type R-Dynamic (V6) coupe. RWD is perfectly adequate for dealing with 380 hp. Based upon my experience living in New Hampshire and commuting between homes there and in Northern Virginia RWD also deals extremely well with heavy rain and light snow as long as the car is fitted with all season tires. In my case, I mount Continental DWS tires on all of my F-Types, XE, XF, E-PACE and F-PACE as soon as the OEM tires wear out. All season tires provide much longer wear and a much quieter ride, at the expense of softer handling. All season tires also allow me to safely drive in much colder temperatures than summer tires (as long as the roads haven’t been treated with salt). My current 2018 AWD F-Type with 20” wheels and tires instead of 19” ones has far more ambient tire noise and ruffer ride than 19” tires. However, what is most disappointing is the noticeable reduction in acceleration and handling. The car just feels heavy - real heavy in an already heavy car. When cruising long distance on an interstate highway that’s fine with me. However, when I want to bomb around, my wife’s Toyota GR Supra 3.0 (RWD) Premium is the car I prefer to be in as it is about 400-500 pounds lighter than an F-Type, has equal horsepower and vastly more torque at lower RPMs. Go with RWD in a 6-cylinder engined sports car like the F-Type.

Thanks for the reply! I'm feeling pretty good about dealing with light weather and I have my Jeep for the more serious stuff. I did end up going with the warrantied V6S RWD.
