GM Extended Warranty - should I?

Hey guys, my wife and I just purchased our new 2009 Malibu 1LT. The dealer of course offered an extended warranty on the bumper to bumper coverage for about $900.

Now in the past, I have always figured those warranties were worth nothing because the dealer wouldn't honor anything.

What do you guys think? I bought this car based on it's reputation, safety and features (OnStar, etc.). I'd like the peace of mind but do you think the factory upgrade in warranty is worth the cost?

Thanks for any opinions/experiences.

Thanks guys, I think I will buy one.

Now, it's my understanding that I can purchase any time while under factory warranty, correct? I may just wait until closer to expiration of the bumper to bumper before I do.

Is it correct that I can wait a while?
That is correct. You have until your factory warranty expires. Just make sure it is a GM Protection plan and not some after market plan. As you are aware you can raise the deductible to reduce the cost. Believe the plan comes in $50, $250, $500 and $1000 deductibles. Something else to consider is the fact that the warranty is transferrable (small fee) should you decide to sell the car. Good selling point. You might check the link for further info:
