I put about 25k miles per year on my car which means my warranty will be out in about a year and a half. At only something like $1400 to take it to 100k miles I just like the security. With the complexity of the TCH and given the fact that any significant issues will have to go to the dealer I felt I would get a good return.

On another note - I traded in an '02 'Vette for my TCH. With that car, the $1000 Extended Warranty was one of the wisest investments I have every made! And General Motors wonders why their company is going down the toilet.
