you probably wont need it, but you never know.....1600 over 7 years is only a couple hundred a year, broken down its less than 20 bucks more a month to pay.... so if you want to ease your worries of any problems that may happen is 20 bucks a month worth it? my friend has a honda with over 250000 miles on it and has never had a problem..... big dollar purchases will always make you think.... my two cars i have extended warranties on... good luck with it
