You need to read the language on the extended warranty; most extended warranties are not transferrable (and hence would not provide any benefit to a subsequent potential buyer). They differ from the manufacturer's warranty which attaches to any owner of the vehcile during the 3-5 year initial period (depending on manufacturer). My experience: With my 1993 LS400 I had over $4000 of repairs between 72k and 91k miles, but did not have an extended warranty. With my 1998 LS400, I had about $500 of repairs during the same interval, but purchased a warranty (I lost). On my 1994, no problems yet, but I've only got 18k miles and still under manf. warranty.
