take the 4 to 5 grand you would spend on an aftermarket warranty and just put it into a savings account, drawing from there if the vehicle needs work done.
I think manufacturer warranties are a good thing to have if you are the type of person who likes to minimize risk. Problems with the vehicle are fixed using new OEM parts, you don't worry about the cost.
Aftermarket warranties can sometimes be a pain to get use out of. Often the company will want to send a rep out to inspect the vehicle themselves to verify what the tech is saying is wrong, then find the absolute cheapest route to get the vehicle running, including second hand or refurbished parts. They still get the vehicle fixed but your vehicle spends more time in the shop.
You should try to get your money back from wherever you bought it, if you haven't already.
