Q: Our car is 43000 miles and are thinking of getting an extended warranty.
A: If you purchase directly from the stealership, you'll probably find yourself 5 or 6k in the hole. However, there are many reputable insurance companies that will sell you a very comparable warranty for 1/3 that. I sugest doing the search and desiding for yourself. I found one backed by Ford that takes me to 100k miles, bumper to bumper for 2k.
