Service overkill?

If you don't mind how much was Jag extended warranty? My new car expires in Sept. and I think I'm going to keep, put new PSS+4. I have never bought an extended plan on anything and car has been as trouble free as possible. My service in Las Vegas has been reasonable up till now: $129 for oil change, and same for brake flush. Coming due this month again but a new dealer has franchise so we'll see.
Their warranty is top-shelf or "Platinum" level although not specifically called that. Exclusions include normal wear and tear items including brake pads and rotors, batteries, cables, manual and hydraulic clutch assemblies, corrosion, glass, tires, etc. and body components not in connection with covered repairs. Any "non-factory" components or software will not be covered.
Covered repairs include everything major: engine components, transmission components, drive axles components, engine electrical system components, steering and suspension, heating/cooling system, body electrical systems including factory sound system and monitoring/safety systems, braking system (sans wear items like pads), and fuel delivery system.

My car is currently in for its 4 year service, at 34,000 miles. I'm doing the 4 yr/64K mile service (which includes engine air filters.) The service manager just called, and as I have the 380HP engine, they recommend changing spark plugs for $500.
Nice try - maintenance schedule recommends 6 yr/96K for park plugs. I'll wait.

Interesting. The manual generally states years/mileage, whichever occurs first. Not that I object, as I'm sure you're right that the air filters don't need to be changed yet. But when I asked the dealer to do the 4yr/64K mile service (and the invoice indicates that's what they did), then I think it's reasonable to expect that they did everything that the maintenance schedule lists for that.
