Would You But an Extended Warranty in this Situation?

Thanks for everyone's input. I decided against buying the warranty for a lot of the same reasons that everyone here mentioned.

My other gripe about the warranty is that the local Yota dealer charges a $92 diagnostic fee every time you bring a car in for service -- even if it is under warranty. If the problem ends up being under warranty they don't charge it and fix the issue, but if they can't replicate the problem or it isn't a covered part, you're out $92. There are other dealers but none that are really convenient for me to get to. I feel like I'd be less likely to bring the car in for "potential" warranty work knowing that I might be out $92 if it's not a covered item.

Search the forum and google for your problem before even thinking about the dealership. Usually CTScott has a solution that costs less than $10.
