Just as input into potential costs, my 2013 FR-S major cost incurred so far has been clutch throwout bearing. My dealership told me not under drivetrain warranty. There's been couple other known issues that were never taken care of by dealer, I wasn't a pain in butt enough to them, I hate dealing with that.
Tires finally changed, the stock tires are expensive! I replaced with pretty much the best performance summer tires out right now and they were almost same cost!
There's rust spots appearing, the roof one is the most worrisome. Need to get estimate on that. Other is in the fuel filler well, other is front crossbar in engine bay. That one I think is a seperate piece, not part of body.
So would some kind of protection plan been worth it? Prob not.
Man though, the past four weeks I've been almost T-boned three times! The Tacoma towing a boat that started running red light would have done a number on me. That would have made insurance payout. Although when I think about it, its been 30 years with only one payout for me.
So usually its not worth it to get these plans as long as you keep some money in reserve for handling such events.
