if i was going to keep the car for a long time, i would get the
extended warranty. it's not a corolla. it will break sooner or later.

 

I got the extended maintainence warranty when I purchased my "03 MC in 2003. I paid $500 for it. Between 36,000 and 50,000 miles I had the front brakes and rotors replaced, the vacuum assist brake booster replaced, and front and rear wipers replaced. The extended maintainence warranty does NOT cover inspection II.

My only regret is not purchasing a long term extended warranty (to 100,000 miles) because I am now worried about my automatic transmission and I'm now at 72,000 miles.
