An extended warranty is just something needed with any driver 16-30 in my opinion. I'm 23 and I've had a warranty on both of my cars and it has saved me numerous times. If any argument is to be made, this warranty will keep him out of many unexpected car problems that cause money (moreso with a 370Z), if you plan on him being in college then it will save so much time, effort, and money. College kids are broke, I was, it saved me. Also, if he's not doing college then just going out into the real world in the very beginning is super expensive. I just moved to Texas to start my very first real job after college and I've easily spent a few thousand dollars just on moving costs. He doesn't need any unexpected expenses, and certainly you won't want him asking for the money when the time comes around when a possible transmission goes out, or the air conditioning system fails. I'm just saying, it is a very smart investment.

You would do very well to send your son to a Driver's School.
As a parent, I purchased both my son and daughter new cars (325 IS) after they both completed their freshman years of college-each with a perfect 4.0 GPA. There were two caveats: Both must attend and complete a Driver's School and neither could receive a moving violation whilst in college. Failure to comply with either would result in the car being taken away.
They completed both Novice and Intermediate training programs and neither received any tickets. They still have those cars today, now some 15 and 18 years after purchase.
