Is it worth buying an extended warranty for a Saab convertible?

I have a Saab 9-3 convertible TTiD, which is 2008 registered and has covered 52,000 miles, trouble-free, mainly on motorways over long distances at steady speeds.

I am considering buying an extended warranty when the manufacturer's warranty expires in June. I have been quoted £528 from Warranty Direct. Do you think it will be worth while taking this warranty out? I know that service etc is expensive, but have no idea of the likely failures at this mileage and what the repair costs will be.

Yes. Check what it covers first, though, because you want to be sure it will cover the roof electrics and hydraulics.
