I had the GE warranty on our lemon 92 Stealth TT.

They bought a new tranny, flywheel, transfer case, and both turbos...then
when we dumped it, the next owner (transferrable) got a motor.

We spent a total of $100 in service, $1200 for warranty, got back about
$12,000 in stuff done.

Don't bother. Everyone I've talked to that bought an extended warranty had
problems when they tried to use it. Sometimes minor, sometimes major. Very
few were satisfied that the warranty covered what they thought it did.  If
you have decent self control, take the money you would pay monthly and save
it. You'll be better off.
