I'm not a big fan of used car warranties but have seen them pay off. Note some of the exceptions - Hmmm?
I'd rather see you take the vehicle to an independent for a go thru now. Perhaps an hour or more labor but less than the 6 month deal. If it's in trouble now negotiate the fix pre-purchase.
In general if it checks out ok now and you maintain it there probably won't be any surprises but used is used. IMO anything covered up would probably show up in the first 3and 3 that isn't an extra charge,
