I would want to see regular oil changes, preferably with synthetic oil. Though sludging should in theory be a non-issue on an '05 if it has had anything resembling reasonable maintenance. The 30K and 60K services too - though it probably got traded in before they dropped the grand on the 60K.
I am firmly of the opinion that extended warranties are a complete waste of money. If it makes you feel better, put the $1500 in an interest-earning account and use it to pay for what the warranty would have covered (less exclusions and deductibles, of course). I will bet you $100 that you come out ahead over the course of the extended warranty. The companies selling warranties are not fools, they make a killing on these things.
