Would your car

now sell faster, easier, better priced? Guess we won't know till you try and sell it. I can tell you the maintenance history and attitude of the seller influenced the buyer of the last Boxster I sold. I had to fight off buyers and I didn't live convenient to a major market.

Everyone has to make their individual choices on how much risk they are willing to take in life and how much they are willing to pay to mitigate the risk.

I turned down an extended warranty when I bought my last Boxster, and didn't do the IMS. Not because I wasn't convinced the LN part is better or the inner-seal-less design isn't better but because I was willing to bet on the odds. You didn't and maybe you spent money you didn't need to or the existing part could have failed next week. We'll never know.

Buying insurance is like that. Sometimes you win (or your survivor does) and sometimes you just sleep better at night.
