Yeah, never buy an extended warranty from a 3rd party.
Almost never buy an extended warranty for cars from the original manufacturer.
I say almost because specialty and high horsepower vehicles can make sense. I would never buy an extended warranty on a naturally aspirated engine for a common car, like your basic Toyota or Honda or whatnot.
I did get the extended warranty on my WRX because it had a turbo. It was a commuter car and not something I raced or ran hard. At 71k miles the turbo failed despite me changing the oil well ahead of the mfg recommended interval(MFG was 6k miles, I was doing it around 3k). I paid $99. The warranty from the dealer was a Subaru warranty and was only about $800. There were a couple other repairs, the major one being the AC condenser. All together, I was around 3k ahead of the game after deductibles and warranty cost.
Most of the time however, extended warranties are ADP. Additional dealer profit.
