Default Are Extended Warranties Worth It?

I am about to settle the paper work & pick up my 2008 Toyota Rav4 (4cyl Ltd) in a couple of days. My question is this: Are extended warranties and car protection packages (rust proofing, paint protection etc.) etc. worth getting? From what I have read, most books say no, - but I wanted to ask all of you directly.

IMO warranties arn't worth the money, simple fact is, a warranty is simply insurance and they wouldn't sell it if there was a good chance you'have to make a claim, so in theory then your better off taking the ame chance as them and putting the money in a savings account... chances are unless you dick about with the car and you treet it like sh!te and don't put oil in it you'de be unlucky to have a serious problem... if on the other hand you do dick about with it, then ya warranties valuless anyhow... The best warranty you could find is someone you trust who can repair the car no matter what... simple as.... just looking at it from a pure bussiness point of view...

Yeah! This warranty will pay for your vehicle's covered repairs after the manufacturer's warranty has expired. If you want more about extended warranty then I would like to prefer a site called Extended Warranty Shopper: Car, Truck & Auto Warranties you can get all about extended warranty. Hope this will help you.
All the best!
