Extended Warranty - Keep or Trade In

I have a 2010 Toyota Prius II whose lease was up in August. I extended the lase for 6 months so now it runs through February. Residual value at the end of February is around 13,500. The car is past the 36,000 miles on the original warranty.

I like but don't love my Prius. However, when I compare it to other cars which I test drove, it continues to come out on top. The problem is that an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles (car is at about 43k) is quoted at 2,000-2,500 which I believe is just way too high.

1) Anybody know of a cheaper warranty out there for what constitutes as a used car? A family member owns the same car but got the warranty when they were under 36k and the warranty was about 1,000-1,200. Double that doesn't really make sense.

2) I'm really hesitant to buy the car without a warranty. Sure, it's reliable but stuff happens. Between a) buying car getting warranty b) buying car, no warranty or c) getting something else as that'll be under warranty (probably around 21-23k), any comments on what you'd choose if all cars are similar.

Thanks for any responses in advance.

 

Thanks. It's pretty much down to either just buying the car and paying for repairs as they come or getting a Hyundai. From other Prius owners I know, maintenance has not been a major cost and a warranty may not cover the type of issues I could end up encountering. Probably best to bring the car in the next future to see where it is now and make sure it has a clean bill of health. I'm only planning on keeping it even if I buy it for a couple more years.
