I would just keep the money in the bank and use it in the event that a repair is needed.

I wouldn't own ANY AMG w/o a FULL warranty. Repairs come often and aren't cheap. My warranty has paid for itself many times over.
It's also becoming very hard to find anyone that will cover AMGs so, if you have someone willing to cover your 32, I'd say jump on it.

Since your car is modified, how do you think this paragraph from the VI. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY will impact your coverage:

M. If Your Vehicle has been altered and does not meet manufacturer’s specifications, including but not limited to, any custom or add-on part, all frame or suspension modifications, lift kits, oversized/undersized tires, emissions and/or exhaust systems modifications, or power train modifications will result in a claim denial.

I agree, but if they deny the claim then it's best for me to cancel the coverage. They will refund any money paid. Both the down payment and any monthly payments made.

It really depends on the dealership you would be taking your car to for whatever repairs. My local dealer did all the installs for me and as such has gone to bat for me on all warranty work. I'm slightly modded and have never had an issue with coverage thanks to the dealership I go too.
