The X only has 9k miles on it and I'm assuming nothing should be breaking before 50k that would justify a $3500 dollar warranty. 
Please help guide me in the right direction. Thanks!

Here is my .05 worth. I would pass for now. If you have a lot of problems between now and 45K miles (or 48 months) you will probably get rid of her anyway. If not you can have any warranty work done before it goes out of warranty and then buy an extended warranty at that time. Squirrel away a couple hundred bucks a month now then it won't be such a tough decision down the road. Good luck.
