I bought the extended warranty (7 years/70k miles) and kind of regret it now. I haven't used it and I'm almost 5 years into the ownership of the car. I doubt I'll ever use it, but I bought it as a safety just in case. I should have looked at my service history and seen that nothing major has gone wrong. My best friend is always having warranty issues with her Elise so I recommended the extended warranty for her though.

As for resale, I don't think it makes a huge difference. I used to sell exotic cars and a car with an extended warranty was not a deal maker or breaker. People are more interested in seeing service records.
