Welcome PT Mack! 2 areas of concern - power sttering pumps and the auto trans might make you happy for the warranty. I'd suggest changing the auto tran fluid & filter (be sure it's ATF +4 or +5).
I have 70,000+ miles on mine w/no problems, others haven't been so lucky.
ENJOY![?]

You have three business days to cancel the warranty contract. I would seriously consider not getting it and putting the $1400 with your cash reserves.
