Yeah, warranties sound nice and all , but generally they are money makers for the people selling them and not too useful to the consumer. YMMV but i always stay away from them.

My wife used to work at the Kia dealership here in town. She said they made a killing off of selling extended warranties, and found all sorts of ways to not honor them. The markup was 800%.
