Nice pick up. I've never gotten those extra warranty because I try to work on my cars myself. Also if you plan on modding your car, depending on what you do, that will probably void that warranty. Another reason I prefer not to get those warranties.

I think the extended warranty was $1,799

Well this is just speculation since I haven't done any maintenance to my 2012 TL SH-AWD w/ tech (owned for 4 months now) but I would imagine (excluding any unforeseen major issues) that the amount of regular maintenance you would do from now til 100,000 would be less than 1799. Also is there a time limit on this warranty? Generally speaking extended warranties are not worth it. Companies offer them knowing they are likely to profit from them.

Welcome to the Acura Family!! Hope you enjoy your new ride! Extra Warranty for peace of mind is always nice. Especially when the car is loaded with electronics. Post some more pictures as you make changes to your car - let us know if you need any advice or help.
