I bought the extended LR warranty shortly after buying the car as I had read that the premiums increase over time and given the high cost of some repairs felt that it was worth while as an insurance policy.  
Ardent believer in Murphy's Law :p
My dealer, Purnells at Blakehurst gave me the following offers shortly after purchase (end November 2013): Normally, 12 months was $3595, 24 months was $3995.  I was offered 24 months for $3400 and got them to take an extra $100 off ending up paying $3300.  In both cases it only extends the time not the mileage.  So I have 5 years and 100,000 km warranty cover. 
It's a personal choice whether you feel it's worth paying versus the possible cost of future repairs.  I'm the cautious type and so I paid for the extended warranty. 
Hope this helps a bit.
