Warranties are for suckers. Even though its a sports car, its still a Honda. Unless he beats on it constantly he should not have any major problems. The factory warranty is 3 years 36,000. The extended is $1600. Any problems within the warranty are not his problem. Outside of the warranty, it is doubtful he will have any major problems that cost more then $1600 to repair. He is better off keeping the $1600, and using it towards a problem if he has one then spending it towards something that might possibly happen. My S2000 is about 700 miles short of 30,000 right now, and I have not had a problem with it yet. I bought mine used its a 2002. Came Honda Certified so got a 1 year bumper to bumper, and 7 year powertrain with it.
