Just wanted to get people's input on whether to purchase an extended warranty or not on my 2003 9-3 Vector. I have slightly less then 48,000 miles so I need to make my mind up in the next couple of months. Any ways I am looking at the Univerisal Warranty Corporation Automax level warranty. Supposedly going to cost ~2400 for 4yr 60,000 miles. They claim Universial Warranty Corp is a subsidary of GM and the warranty is very similar to the first 50,000 mile warranty.
