If you just have to have an extended warranty, go somewhere like your credit union. I got one for about 1/3 as much as the prices you quoted for 100,000mi. Be careful though. Read what's not covered, they will sometimes not cover dumb things like fasteners and gaskets and oil refills.
Like I said, I wouldn't buy one and just put the cash away in case of an issue. $1875 will pay for lots of small repairs. If you can work on the car your self $1875 can do transmissions, clutches, coil packs, injectors - you name it.

+1 on that. Extended warranties can be a good deal on very-low mileage vehicles because they are reasonably priced, but like any insurance policy, the premium increases with age. I can't speak from experience, but a car-dealer friend recently told me that the bulk of claims are for electronics, rather than for drive-train problems.
