I checked EASY CARE with BBB. Seems to me Mercury Extended Warranty sold through Paragon Motor Club sounds OK, does anyone have any experience with them.
Also, Warranty Direct has Bumper to Bumper, cover mechanical failures, wear n tear failures, seal n gasket, overheating failure, that only leave them a loop hole to denies your claim, your aggressive drive style. I read that loop hole had been use before when all else failure pre an ex-employee.

I have 120k on mine, anyone know of a good warranty that I can still get? Or is it not possible to get one at this high mileage?

Likely you won't get a warranty worth the paper it's printed on at that mileage.

Buy the zmax package at the auto parts store, its an additive that comes with a barebones warranty that goes up to 150k miles, pays out a max of $1500 if you have a covered claim .

The zmax package cost about $35 and you have to buy a new package every 6 months.

chrysler Service Contracts

chryslerfactoryplans.com . Michael Case has sold a number of members their warranties including myself and it seems to be the best. I recently heard they have tighten their guidelines for writing so for some it may not work .
Its buyer beware and if you have an AMG its even harder to find a company that will write .
Good luck.

Your car has to have less than 80k miles to get a factoryplans.com warranty... otherwise yes they are one of the best options, assuming your car currently has less than 80k miles.

They can add 5 years and 70k additional miles warranty to your current car

guys i am wondering if i got a lemon. little things like the pump to close the trunk broke, the heated seats stopped working, the windshield wiper pump stopped working, the plastic vent ajusters broke off, the door makes a funny noise when i open it, the leather seats squeek if they are not in the perfect position, in addition to the usual abc problems, the power steering pump going out, etc. For a 100k car the small things that are breaking are frustrating the heck out of me. I keep fixing things and think "okay once this is fixed ill be done and I can enjoy my car" and then within 30 days, something else breaks. i just wanted to see if anyone else is having the same issues or if i need to just cut my losses before something like the engine or transmission go out. My fear is that if they can't make a a/c vent last 100k miles how can i trust them with an engine. I have an 03 amg with 98k miles on it.

TMaguire - I have 120k miles on mine, and that's more or less how all of these cars are: Little things break over time. There are so many components and technology in these cars, that there are more things to go wrong that most cars don't even have.

If you maintain it properly and stay up to date on everything, there shouldn't be any major issues, just these minor problems popping up.

I had a Chrysler Extended Warranty for the life of my S600 covered it from 50k-100k, and was the best money I have ever spent. paid somewhere between 3-4k and they fixed over 20k worth of stuff and never had any issues getting service from the dealership. everything was covered and 0 deductible.

I have a Fidelity Platinum Warranty on my S600 for an additional 4 years and 46k miles.
I paid just under 5k.
