I know a lot of people feel that extended warranties are a waste of money but I think the piece of mind is worth it.
With my '17 Volt, I purchased an extended service plan from the dealer (GMEPP) for around $1500 that basically doubled the bumper to bumper warranty from 3/36 to 6/72. As someone who puts about 16,000 miles a year on the car, I knew I'd be over the factory warranty based on the mileage way too soon.
Glad I purchased it because right after the 3/36 expired, I had two door lock actuators fail at the same time (a third previously failed but was replaced under warranty). The repair of the two actuators plus some software updates (backfire fix, etc...) pretty much justified the cost of the extended warranty.
