VW Extended Warrantee - should I include it?

I know this has been done a loads before, but being new - I'm not sure how to "search" to see all threads.

Basically I'm looking at buying a used VW Polo from a main dealer. It comes with 2 years warrantee, servicing and breakdown cover for free. Is it worth extending it now to cover the whole PCP period - or is it right that I've read I can add it on just before the current warrantee ends?

I've never bought a car on finance or for this much, so a little weary of falling into the salesman trap!

You can purchase an extended VW warranty towards the end of the two years given with the car. I would have thought a warranty for a Polo wouldn't be too expensive. I bought a 2011 Golf GTI almost five years ago now which came with the VW warranty but never bothered extending it as to be honest VW's are fairly reliable.

Thanks Andy... I'm going to do that, and just evaluate if it's needed after year 2
