I guess I got lucky then...

When I bought my 99 used, I bought the extended warranty for an additional $1,600 (it was at 34,000 miles so they allowed the warranty since it was still under factory warranty at that point).

3 months later... it was discovered that I had oil leaks in the intake gasket, oil pan gasket, rear main seal, timing cover gasket.

I also had a leak in the water pump and a cracked cylinder head to boot. Fortunately the dealer covered all the repairs which came out to about $1,800.
