Any advice will help my decision. Thanks
I think it is worth having done. I think you can get it closer to 1k if you look around though.

Mine is the same year as yours and has 91.5k on it. It drives SOLID and is a wonderful car. I saw the same year on ebay (probably a salesman) with 404k miles!! I think if you did the gasket you can drive it another 100k EASY. I have that much faith in this model. (watch it die today)

1500 bucks for 3 years is worth it to me.
