HI, my mazdaspeed has about 46 000 miles on and I was wondering what is a reputable company that provides extended warranty and possibly at the best cost? I looked online and didnt find any reputable looking websites or anything.
any input would be appreciated.
thanks

Do not buy one of these piece of shit policies, I work in the auto finance bizzz and for the most part these things suck... All kinds of backdoor run arounds and stuff,

like for example you have to have the entire price of the policy paid off before they'll pay a claim and then other ways to screw you... and for the most part factory warrenties aren't any good for a turbo'ed sportscar unless your older and drive it like a granny becuase you have a strong chance they'll deny your claim...

extended warranties, in general, are useless and just a way to get extra cash from you. like apoc was saying, there will always be a way for them to get around any claims that you put through them and for the most part, the claims probably won't be accepted.

i'd say keep the cash saved somewhere in case something does go wrong and you need to get the problem fixed sooner than if you went through one of these places.

The guy who I bought my MSP from had one of these policies. I transferred it over and am now cashing it out. It's a waste of money because it's not likely for the warranty company to warranty anything. I read reviews, and all of them said the company told them they didn't maintain their car, drove too hard, etc. I plan on using the money for an exhaust system or race wheels/tires for next season.
