Of course the extreme cases are when people loose their transmission and something else that is very costly in which case you will be glad you have it. It's a lot like gambling... your question is a lot like asking, should you go to a casino tonight and bet on red? The answer is maybe, but remember in the long run the house (a.k.a seller of warranty) always wins.

Good point. Which reminds me that before you buy a used vehicle, please ask for a warranty repair history so you can see if the vehicle is going to be a lemon or not.
