That seems high for a service contract for a Hyundai, since you probably won't use it until at least year 6 (or after 60k miles), and beyond that you have the powertrain warranty for expensive repairs e.g. transmission. My advice is to put the $1800 away in an investment, and in five years you'll have more than $2000, which with the $100 deductible you'd pay anyway will cover many repairs in years 6-10--if you have them. Plus, how do you know you'll keep the Hyundai for 10 years?
Also, what you describes sounds more like an extended warranty than a service contract. A service contract typically pays for routine maintenance. A warranty pays the cost of (some) repairs.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Sounds like a wise suggestion. I thought it was a little expensie also. I was just thinking of those annoying things that tend to fail such as elect window motors, ect. Not ever owning a Hyundai I don't know anything about their reliability.I checked it is called Factory Plus Perferred Care Service Contract by CNA national warranty corp.

CNA looks to be an independent (not Hyundai) warranty company. From the reports here they could be the poster child for why not to buy any extended warranty except one with the Manufacturer.
