Like any insurance policy, these things are meant to make money for the company issuing the coverage. If they happen to work in your favor it's a bonus.
Had one on a Exploder we had and it barely broke even, and then only because I negotiated the price way down. Then the tranny died 2K miles after the warranty ended.
My 9K, which I bought used, came with one. That was good policy and covered some key stuff, like the AC compressor, heater core and a brake caliper. I came out a little ahead.
Have a CPO on our '03 9-5 wagon. It runs out in June and I'll just budget some bucks each month for future repairs.
If you are scared of repairs the 3rd party warranties are maybe OK, but they don't really cover all they say they will. Better to find an indy mechanic you trust, have him maintain the car, use used parts when it makes sense, and better yet, learn to do some of the easy repairs and service yourself.
