How much did you pay for your SOA extended warranty, and which warranty did you buy?

I paid $1,200 for a 6-year 80,000 gold plus extended warranty with a $100 deductible and free oil changes for life (the oil changes are not transferable).

I think I should have insisted on getting a warranty without a deductible as this can really add up.

You should have checked to see if it was an exclusionary policy or a name component policy. Exclusionary policies are always better they are most like a factory warranty. If you have a named component extended service plan then you will have a lot of holes in your coverage when it comes to repairs.
