Which extended warranty should I go for?
Check the attached Image.
My warranty runs out in 3/13 and I have about 41k on the clock right now.
Which option do you think I should go for? Are these prices good?
Thanks!

Wow, is that how much factory warranty cost when it's this close to running out of warranty?! That's crazy. I know I got my 7yr/125K miles for around half of the quoted $ on that image. Make sure you shop around and don't pay retail. I got mine from Georgetown MB of Texas. There was another MB in dealership that gave the exact same quote. Make sure you read the thread on where to buy the factory warranty.

A little bird told me extended warranties have 100% markup. I would not pay more than 15 points over cost. Folks either don't use them or they do and are "not covered." That's why EW are sold by the last person you see - the finance closer.
Go to an Acura dealer finance person and see if they can get you an extended warranty.

I personally got the 6 year 100k. I dont plan on keeping the car till 2015, but it all depends on how long the car is going to be with you. It's DEFINITELY worth it, i had to get some warranty done that would of cost 8900$, was done free thanks to the extended warranty!
I believe different dealerships have different prices? I'd go hunt for some lower prices because i got 300$ off from two dealerships 20 miles away from each other.

ELW prices are definitely negotiable. When I got my C43, we settled on a price for the car, which was $x less than what they were asking. On the bill of sale, they applied some of that price reduction to the ELW line item, and as grane said above, they knocked the stated price of the ELW down to about half of what they were asking. Of course, they were making money on the car portion of the transaction, so maybe this type of thinking may not be completely applicable to just an ELW purchase negotiation.
As for using the warranty? Total of all covered repairs was over twice the cost of the warranty itself.
