Welcome, CaliRover!
Congratulations on your new purchase. Stop freaking out. All vehicles break eventually, either due to time or due to neglect.
A warranty is always good. I am looking into getting one shortly myself because its better to be safe than sorry. I am sure that the FreeLander Owners will jump in here soon and let you know what a great decision you make. I have a Discovery and if I listened to all the negative stuff I heard and read then I would not have gotten it but now I kick myself for not getting sooner. Just relax and enjoy your purchase.
