If do you really feel you need to extend the guarantee period, then ask to buy it at a lower price. Not all sellers will negotiate for the insurance policy, but some will. And one thing you must remember, whether you bought the extended warranty period or not, make sure you make periodically back up files, just in case if something goes wrong.
