I'd certainly be factoring in the cost of extended warranty, or quite cautious if that is not an option.
I try to get LSD in all my cars and I don't race, I think it's a must have option for daily driver. Driving hard is usually a good thing for DI engines vs driving in city and traffic at low rpms

I took my S2000 to redline every single day many times per day in every gear, that doesn't hurt the car even a bit. Sold it with close to 100k miles with zero issues and mint condition.
