Warranty upgrade cost?

I just bought a used X61t and the warranty expires in just under 4 weeks. How much would it cost to extend the warranty another 2-3 years? I can't call right now because I'm at work, just wondering if it's worth it
Thanks

FWIW, for 2 extra years on my T43p I paid $199.00 + tax directly from Lenovo, because I was pressed for time, can be done for around $155 on the web, with some research involved.
No clue whether the price is the same, this was standard depot from three years to five.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps try their toll-free number and ask for their sales department.

See the thread
Warranty Extension. If the 5-year EZServ (depot service) with IBM/Lenovo part number
41C9180 also apply to your X61t, then go to
Affinity Systems, Inc. and buy it for around $150. The
41C9180 is applicable for ThinkPad's which came with 3-year base warranty - as also seen from the current
Lenovo TopSeller WEB Guide - July 2008 (see page 12).
PS: I guess that warranty of the X60
t can also be extended to 5-years, although only "non-t" X60's are explicitly mentioned in the list at
Warranty Service Upgrade (WSU) - Mobile Products.

Question:
I currently have a 1YR depot warranty on my x61s, if I wanted to make that 3YR depot I would get 41C9170 (1YR depot to 3YR depot) for $119, extending my warranty by 2 years. Now the question is, am I able to upgrade that warranty again, this time to a 4 year depot using 41C9178 (3YR depot to 4YR depot) for $110? (total = $229)
I ask this because if I get 41C9172 (1YR depot to a 4YR depot) would cost $249, which makes little sense in terms of pricing.

Interesting. Do these extensions cover International Warranty Services.

IBM might
say that it will - at the time of purchasing a warranty extension, but when you
need an IWS-repair, then look what happened to me...:
IBM/Denmark deny to honor warranty confirmed by IBM-Support - everything denied (incl. extended IWS-repair). If you want this IWS-coverage on an extended warranty, I absolutely suggest that you make sure your official, IBM-written documentation in top notch!
