Then again, one might say you've "pre-paid" for the repairs in an event like that as well. Damn. I can see a compelling argument both for, and against.
I don't plan to do any tuning modifications to the car. I do plan to add an intake and exhaust and some other cosmetic things here and there. I'm thinking it may not be worth it.
Another dilemma: if you get extended warranty you normally plan to keep the car for a longer time than the OEM warranty period. But if you decide for whatever reason to sell your car at an earlier point in time, you can legitimately claim that - unlike the vast majority of similar used cars put up for sale - yours still benefits factory warranty. Even during trade-in, the dealer cannot play the "yeah, but we got to offer warranty to the next owner" card.
