That would be something to consider.

My warranty is with Consumer Direct Warranty Services. Found them on a google search through agent AAAutoWarranty.com, WHO I RECOMMEND THAT YOU STAY AWAY FROM. THEY BADLY MISREPRESENTED THE PRODUCT. Warranty good...Agent bad.

Coverage is 3 yrs, unlimited miles, covers engine, trans, drive train, cooling system, fuel system, electrical, related gaskets except head gaskets. The important thing is it covers most everything that's lubricated, and that includes the major causes of massive engine failures. Transferable with a $75 fee to the new owner. Maintence is critical to have warranty pay related claims and you cannot do your own oil changes and the like. I just paid $100 for an oil change than it would have cost me to do it!!! Oh, well!
