Actually the original poster was questioning his decision about not buying the "Nissan Extended Warranty" from the dealership at the time of his purchase. I agree that there are several "after market" extended warranty programs that have been real nightmares for some people. (i.e. parts not covered, parts not original Nissan parts, some repairs not covered, hidden charges, money lost etc etc.)
I would caution people to do some serious research if they are looking into buying an extended warranty "other than" one from Nissan. I've read nothing but good things about the Nissan Extended Warranty when repairs were needed. Two of the biggest advantages are the warranty is honored by all Nissan dealerships and the repairs are all done using only Nissan genuine parts. The only gamble is you will spend the money for the warranty and your Nissan vehicle never breaks down or needs a repair, then you are out the money you paid for the warranty. If you are only planning on keeping the car for 3 years or less than I would not buy the warranty as the Rogue and other Nissan vehicles are covered for the first 3 years.
Personally I keep all my vehicles until the wheels fall off. (avg. about 15 years). For this reason I WILL be buying the Nissan extended warranty just before my Rogue reaches the 36,000 mile mark.

The link below is to a site (one of many) that offers the GENUINE Nissan Extended Warranty. I like this site because they give you the dollar amounts online! Most sites require you to give them your email address or a phone number before they will give you a quote on the warranty. I avoid those when possible. I figure if they can't give me the price online like the more competitive sites I'm not interested in what they are selling. I'm including the link below for reference purposes only. Be sure to shop around for the "Nissan Extended Warranties" because while they are all offering the same selection of Nissan Warranties... the prices can be quite different. Shop for the best price. (NOTE: As mentioned earlier you do not need to buy it from your local dealer. You can buy it from any Nissan authorized provider regardless of where they are located.)
