If you really want an extended warranty, try your credit union. It'll cost you less. One thing I've learned is that if you have a decent credit union, they will be on your side when it comes to warranty issues with the dealer. It's worth a look.
That said, be aware that some of these so-called extended warranties are actually entitled "Service contracts" and are not true warranties. They will only cover exactly what is listed in the contract and they are very good about not paying. I bought one for my wife's jeep. The control door failed in her ventilation system. The service contract stated that they would cover AC components and Heating components, but since the door wasn't specifically listed, they didn't cover it. Never mind that neither the heating system or AC system could possibly operate with the door stuck. And I had foolishly bought the highest warranty on the Jeep I could. They even call it "Comprehensive", though it was anything but. I couldn't take it back to the original dealer either because they went out of business. The company mine was through was Premier Dealer Services. Do not get an extended warranty *cough* service contract with them.
I'm thinking about checking out breakdown insurance for my next vehicle instead of an actual warranty. Other than that, I'm never buying an extended warranty *cough* service contract again.
