Not really, at least not until the car is 3 years old.

You have a 4 year/50K mile warranty and 3 years/36K mile scheduled service included.

If you buy an extended warranty, the warranty will go into effect TODAY, not in 4 years or 50K miles down the road. This is a gimmick most people fall into.

If you think you are going to keep the car past the 4 year factory warranty, you can certainly purchase an extended warranty contract from a reputable vendor 3 or 4 years from now.

No need to part with that cash today, IMHO.

This is a negotiable item between you and the dealer, and a high profit item at that. C4 is correct.
