Take the $3,500 and put it into an interest bearing account for any future non warranty repairs.

Hey, we are all just guessing.

Nobody can predict what will happen at the end of your factory warranty.

Good luck.

Agreed. All an extended warranty reall is, is an insurance policy. If you buy it and you have to replace the engine in 5 years, then a top replacement in 6, it will have been a good investment. Or you could have nothing for 7 years and you just threw away $2000. It's all a crapshoot.

But the cheapest way is to buy it now. For example, my 2002 S runs out of warranty next month and it will be around $3000 for a 4 year (from date of purchase), 75k mile warranty.

I have been thinking about a warranty for the 01S I just bought, all I want is powertrain coverage. Anyone have a reputable company thats offers just powertrain?

(Cause reading this forum is making me PARANOID! )

Get the fine print on a powertrain warranty... make sure it covers RMS if that's what you're going for.

Heck, the top alone costs what a transmission rebuild costs on a lot of other cars. Sure you don't want one that's more comprehensive?
