Gads, ain't that the truth!
As for the OP's question, I think that maintenance warranties (paying for oil changes, etc. in advance) are a rip-off, and you're better off paying for what you need when you need it, and not necessarily at the dealership. Of course, I DIY a lot of minor maintenance myself, and not every wants to or is able to do that.
Putting off the extended warranty is a good idea. Not only do you get to "use" and invest your money for three years, you may decide to trade-in the car, or it may get destroyed or stolen, in which case the money is wasted. And if the car proves to be problem-free under the basic warranty, especially if you take care of it and don't put a lot of miles on it, then you may just want to take your chances and pay for things as (if) they show up.
