See my post on that thread.
Anyone have any opinions, suggestions? I think the quoted price of the EW is ridiculous.

From your original post in the other thread, it's hard to say whether this is a good deal under the circumstances or not:
I thought hard about it but didn't go for the EW (and got lucky b/c Roadshow ended up replacing the engine on my '03 MCS right before the warranty expired and they extended warranty on the new engine), but I don't put nearly the miles on my car (only about 10-12k/year) as you do. I'm about to pay out of pocket for my first brake job, so may wish I'd done the extended maintenance. EW might be worth it in your case?
I'm at 40,000 miles, already have the extended 100,000 mile maintenance agreement but was wondering about extending the warranty, which is how I ended up here.
As far as the maintenance, I extended that when I read that a brake job alone is well over $1000 and the MA only cost me $1200. Plus I drive a lot of miles so that 36,000 MA would have been done in about 14 mos.
I called the dealer yesterday about extending the warranty when I hit 50k. I was quoted $2600 and $3200, with $50 or $100 deductibles, which are waived if you take it to the dealer.
That is a lot.. and of course they offered 10% down and 12 mos for 0% financing. But ****, that's over $200 per month for a year !!
I've only had a few minor issues with my car.
Between what I've read here, and the cost.. I'm leaning toward taking my chances.
I actually had thought about trading in for a new car, it would probably cost me less than that $2600 EW! But, they only have 2 new ones on the lot.. guess I could considering ordering one.. but I do love my Toro
