Make sure the extended warranty isn't from Chrysler. Mine is and I wonder if Chrysler will still be around to honor it. Mine is bumper to bumper until April 2014. There are other independent companies you can go to for extended warranties. Don't count on the Crossfire being cheaper to maintain than the Audi, after all it is a Mercedes. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined, you can do some of your own maintenance such as oil and oil filter changes by using the search feature in the forum. They have even included pictures to guide you.
Good Luck
