That depends on what your calling small maintenance items. Items such as cv boots, window regs, door handle carriers could be considered small items but if you are not doing them yourself, they add up real quick. Sure, the car will have less wear on it due to the low milage but it is not a new car. Plastics age regardless of milage. Our front air struts don't just fail because of milage. They fail because the rubber air bag begins to dry rot and is no longer a perfect seal.

It comes down to peace of mind. If you feel confident in the condition of your X and are willing to pay for possible fixes then go with out a warranty. If you want to be on the safe side and are planning on keeping the X for a long time and use it as a daily driver I recommend getting a warranty. It seems like evidence will support that our X's with the V8 tend to require a little more maintenance and if it has the air struts those will most likely go out some time in the cars life. Keep in mind that this car was not driven very often and now it is going to be driven with frequency. Sometimes older cars with low miles start to have things that need replacing when they start being driven with frequency. Congratulation with your purchase! You found a beautiful X. I hope this information helps in your decision process.
