Acura Care/ Road Hazard and Wheel Coverage

My Acura dealership convinced me to buy their warranties coverages. For the prices of $6000 it includes the following coverages.
0 deductible 7 yrs 1000,000 Acura Care
Road Hazard Tire and Wheel Coverage
DentGuard/ Dent Protection
Resistall 360 Superior Pretection

After reading over the warranties documents I don’t know if it’s worth buying. There’s a lot of guidelines that you have to follow otherwise they will not cover the repair costs. How many of you guys buy the Acura warranties coverages.
TIA for any helps

Maybe for the road hazard tire/wheel coverage but that's about it.

I never pre-pay for maintenance since I may not have the car for 7 years due to selling it or if it gets damaged in a total loss. Maybe 1-2 years at a time but definitely not 7 years!

I've learned over time that extended warranties aren't all they are cracked up to be. You could cover a lot of issues over time with $6,000, especially if you roll that into financing and pay interest on it over years.

Tire and wheel each rim is probably $400-500 and tires are probably on average $300 apiece. Dents can easily be taken out by paintless dent repair. The last thing sounds like some coating which may be worth it but I never trust dealer products or detailers. Usually coating for an SUV can run $1500-2000 depending on the quality of the product such as cquartz or opticoat.

I've learned to self-insure against things like this.

You have to time to cancel it. The only item I recommend is tire/wheel protractions. Usually, it's not expensive but worth the money!

I got the dealer backed warranty from Mcgrath and i live six blocks from them, they have 10-12 locations in Chicago area but it was only $2000 which had tire and wheel option and i thought i got gypped lol. $6000 is wayyyy too much. Also they gave me the first oil service comp as well. Work out a deal if you can.
