I paid for an extended warrenty for mine from a third party and had it written into the contract. Can't remember the name of the company, but it was the same one we bought for my wife's car 5 years ago, and I had to use it a couple of times, without any problems. I paid almost a grand for a 5 year, 75,000 mile warrenty, since I drive roughly 15,000 miles a year. It has a 100 deductible.
