Default Extended manufacturer warranty?

Hi All,
Looking at a 2011 Sport Supercharged with 25K mile on it. Just has the original 4 yr / 50K warranty. Looking at extension options:

5yr/95k total miles - $5329

4yr/80k total miles - $4233

worth it?

Thanks in advance for any advice !

IMHO money would be better spent on more arduous maintenance schedule, more frequent fluid changes. But I'm a DIY sort of fella, who likes to smell like Rotella...

Thanks, but I'm not a do-it-yourselfer when it comes to cars ! Do the numbers seem reasonable in terms of price?

Well, even if not a DIY, having fluids changed at 50% of the dealer stated interval will help. There is no "every one of these is gonna bust" parts on those. And if something breaks you'll have funds available. You can scan thru our Range Rover section, and you won't find the same issues over and over as on earlier Discovery, etc.

The dealer intervals are built for leased vehicle owners users that want minimum cost of "ownership". Pushes repair costs to next owner.
