Default is it worth buying undercarriage skid plate?

I am considering buying a "tomken undercarriage" skid plate that I found new on craigslist for $60 (normally $180+). The Under Carriage Skid Plate is about 4ft by 1 foot and covers the engine oil pan and transmission. I don't do any crazy trail riding, just a little off-roading on the weekends. Do you think this is worth investing in?
