They have a lot of options for years and mileage, get the one that suits your needs best - no sesnse haveing a 6 year/75k warranty if you do 75k in three years, that kind of thing.

Also, see if the business manager will show you their cost on these - let them make a reasonable (to you) profit. The dealer can make a killing off these if you let them sell it to you for list price. If they won't show it to you, they are trying to overcharge you.

Good luck.
I will check into that. I put 92k miles on my Jeep Wrangler in 5 years, with the only problem being a broken oil cap. My warranty ran out on my Jeep at the 60k mile mark. The warranty was for 7 years 60k. I do alot of driving (aka, alot of trips to NC and SC beaches).

That was another thing that worried me was how much does a ESP really cost them? I don't want to pad their wallets, but like any other business, they also deserve a profit.
