You have to keep in mind what kind of vehicle you are buying.  My previous
purchase was a Chevy S-10, so of course I got an extended warantee, for 5 yrs.
At 4 yrs, 10 mos., I had to get a new transmission (automatic).  Seems
Chevy lived up to my experince with older Chevys, and sold low quality
transmissions.  (I got a $2000 trans for $150, warantee cost $700.)

(With all the care and maintenance I put into the truck, this has been its
only problem.  I still have it and still use it - for grunge driving...)

When I got the Miata, my dealer didn't even bother to insult the car by
offering an extended warantee. :-)
