I would most definitely shop around to get an exclusionary warranty for it. After finding one for a good price ($4500 for 5 years/60K miles), that was my go ahead to get mine. As much as I have had ZERO (knock on wood) problems on mine (not even a single CEL, well other than replacing the coolant reservoir), after one year and 8 months/13K miles, I would not get one without one, unless you can wrench it yourself. Based on all the inputs I've read in this forum, the likelihood that you will pay more for repairs than the reasonable cost of an exclusionary warranty is high.
