First point is fair.

However, point number 2, you saying it isn't worth it is quite subjective. I cancelled my CAA Gold membership in favour of the Toyota roadside assistance (cause, honestly, the Toyota one provides more). Right there I saved $644.10 over my 5 year warranty. I get 8 free oil changes with my warranty. That's another $631.20. So, I get $1275.30 worth of services I'd be paying for anyways over 5 years on a warranty that cost me $1900. Pretty good deal for a warranty, if you ask me.
