I'm not one for warranties, never have been. I see them as being a guaranteed outlay against something that just might happen. And if it does, then you're stuck with trying to get some faceless corp to honour their side of the deal.

I've had mine for 7+ years. Done almost 70k of its 130k miles and it's been cheap to service, and with very minimal repairs required. Just a park brake motor, boot lid motor & struts IIRC.

Go for it, take a chance and enjoy. This is your one life and the worst that can happen is very unlikely to be anything to do with your car .
BTW one of our members recently had an ex S8 V10 for well less than £8k

One more thing. Think what it would be selling for with, say, 75k on the clock. The difference in those prices is what you will have in hand should anything go wrong
Got to love man maths
