Warranty worth it on 2010 G37x?
Hey guys, I bought a g37x a little over a month ago and I am reconsidering the warranty I have on it. Its a 3yr 30,000 mile warranty through Allstate. It was $2,100 with $100 deductible. The carfax is clean; only thing ever replaced was regular maintenance items (tires, drive belt, brakes, oil, etc) and the battery was replaced a little under 2 years ago (30,000 miles on it now). I have "Silver Care" which I am fairly sure falls under premier care. Link is below

The car seems to be running great. However, there is a ticking sound coming from right side of engine bay when idling. No idea what is causing it; had driving belt replaced a few weeks ago so it isn't that.
I am just not sure if the warranty is worth it, and I am unaware of how expensive repairs are for this car. I have a friend who's been a mechanic for years and he can fix almost anything for $40/hour. This allows me to buy my own parts at a cheaper price than dealers/repair shops.
Given the car runs great and has no history of problems, how likely am I to have a major repair in the next 30,000 miles? Is $2,100 a good price for a 3 year 30,000 mile warranty? Are replacement parts generally expensive on the g37x? Also, does allstate have a good reputation for properly fixing issues in a timely manner?

Since it's a pre-2012 model, the biggest issue you could run into is the rear timing gasket. Coincidentally, it'll cost you just as much as your warranty to fix this (if it ever happens). If you generally have a risk-averse personality, stick with the warranty. However, I decided back when I bought my 2010 with 50k miles that it's reliable enough to forgo an extended warranty and simply create my own emergency funds.
