Thanks guys!

By the way, is it worth $1,800 to purchase "extended maintenance"?

The dealer said "It's a no brainer, it will pay for itself with a brake job." I
said "no thanks."

Me and $1,800 have a hard time parting.

I agree with you on extended warranties, I save my money and do it myself!

If you plan on keeping it for multiple years, I always think it's worth the extended contracts. A few years back, my Mom bought a Starmark Mercedes E320. She opted for the extended maintenance plan. 3 years into ownership, she needed a lot of repairs, and the contract paid for itself easily 2x!!
