I have only bought an extended warranty one time (it was on a $40K vehicle that had tons of features/options/ electronics and we got the warranty for $680 that extended bumper to bumper from 3 years 36K miles to 6 years, 70k miles). This was the only time I have bought one and have purchased about a dozen cars brand new and it never bit me.

I did not get one for my BRZ. Finance manager pissed me off. He basically told me I was crazy not to get it and made it sound like the car was going to fall apart after the warranty expired.. I countered him by saying "so you are saying Subaru does not make reliable vehicles? Funny, your sales manager kept telling me how reliable Subaru vehicles are..."

He shut up and did not push another thing...

Folks the dealer probably makes more money on warranties, paint protection, fabric guard, etc than they do on the vehicle sale.
