Sounds more like an insurance policy than a warranty to me. $187 x 12 months x 5 years is $11,200. I could buy a lot of parts for that money...

I guess so but when I use the car every day out in the middle of bum fuck egypt and the miles keep rolling up sooner or later something will take a shit like the first engine did at 98,200 miles and that would of been a BIG hit if it had happened out of warranty.
I guess for most of you all the cars dont get driven like mine every day 1,200+ miles a week

Worst value proposition ever.

Your G8 with 177,000 miles is worth considerably less than $11,000. You would be better off saving the money and having a nice down payment on something else when it finally needs a repair too expensive to fix.
