Default warranty, is it worth extending

I have just put a deposit down on a 2002 sti. The warranty runs out at the end of June. Is it worth me extending the warranty for another 3 years. Its gona cost £1300.

cheers guys

That's cheap for 3 years

When my 02 Sti warranty was running out was quoted £1440 for 12 months hence the last 2 cars have been JDM's

I had one on my car, but when i tried claiming for a gearbox they said it wasnt valid as i had the car serviced over 1000miles to early for the 60,000mile service! But the car was sold with an extended warranty even though a previous owner had done the same on the 20,000mile service.
THEY ARE JUST AFTER YOUR MONEY AND WILL TRY AND GET OUT OF DOING ANY REPAIRS!

It also depends if it's Subaru Proven extended warranty some Dealers also sell another branded Warranty scheme

Also there is Two different Proven warranty, one is a continuation of your warranty the other is if your existiong warranty has run out (more expensive)

IIRC
