Thoughts?
So, in your case (since you can discount mileage) you are buying a 3 year extension of the bumper to bumper and 1 year extension of the powertrain warranty which you will hit before you hit the mileage.

To "make back" your money then you would need to have a repair costing more than $1,100 during one of those two periods on a car with less than 35,000 miles on it at the end of the period.

Still seems pretty unlikely to me. Now, that being said, my car will probably suffer a huge mechanical breakdown on my way home tonight just to prove me wrong.
