I chose to go without any extended warranty... I am keeping my fingers crossed that my 3.0 engine stays mainly trouble free like most of the local shops told me.
The dealers here suggest EasyCare... I called EasyCare and talked to them prior to my mfg warranty expiring... I asked them if say a leaking valve cover on its own (without any internal moving parts damaging it) is covered, they said no... leaky gaskets are only covered if they are part of an internal breakdown fix, etc. Asked about the moon roof and the fact that some consider the interior parts of it as 'trim'... he couldn't say for sure. Then, he found out that I am calling from CA, and said they no longer sign any new contracts in CA... I told him that my dealer the night before was trying to sell this to me... he said I should check back with my dealer and have them contact EasyCare.
Anyhow, from all that I have read about these extended warranty companies, it seemed like EasyCare was the best one that most local dealers here were selling, but the coverage didn't seem to be all that comprehensive (unlike what the dealer is trying to sell it as.. 'it is a bumper to bumper warranty'... yeah, rright), and frankly I didn't know if the 'no new contract' stuff had anything to do with the stability of the company.
I said to myself... I will either fix shit myself (with help from here and elsewhere), or take it to an independent mechanic, etc., and take the risk and go without a warranty.
We will see how things turn out.
