I just went to my dealer today, to address the extended warranty on my new 2005 (now 3 months old). They had wanted to sell it to me initially, of course, but I didn't feel like dealing with it at the time. Since I have learned about expensive brake jobs, broken window regulators, etc. on this board, and I put 18-20,000 miles/year on the car, I decided maybe I should go ahead and do this.

I paid ~$2600 for the extended warranty (from US Warranty Corp). $100 deductible, to 60 mo/100,000 miles. I also paid ~$1250 for the extended maintenance (72 mo/100,000 mi).

Total, including tax, $4233.

What do you think? Will I regret having done this?
