Warranties

[VX4EJR]

I know this is an older thread, but just had a question for anyone who had bought an extended warranty through an Isuzu dealer.

Were you told or is it true that an extended warranty can only be purchased within the time frame of your VX's basic warranty (before it expires) and when does it extend from if you can buy it?
In other words, if you have a 2001 VX the basic warranty is 3-years or 50K. But is it 3 years from the model year of the vehicle or from the date you purcahased it (if they happen to be different)?

More so, from when does the extended warranty extend from, the model year of the vehicle or from the date you purcahased it?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

I did a lot of research on warranties a few weeks ago, i have a 2001 with 54,000 miles. I came to the conclusion there are an awful lot of warranty companies out there with some dubious practices, stay well away from Continental, their sales people called me constantly and got to the point of insulting me for not taking out their warranty, i had to hang up the phone and tell them not to call me back ever!
The best coverage is an exclusionary policy which lists whats not covered rather than what is. I settled on 1sourceautowarranty.com they seem to have a decent record, checked out BBB, online reports and customer reviews, their sales people are also polite and do not harass you, i have a contact Dale Easton, email deaston@1sourceautowarranty.com i was quoted $1550 for 4 years 48,000 miles from the date taken out, this was their highest plan with the most coverage.
I havent comitted to a warranty yet, but if i do, so far i like this one the best.

worth checking out.

I've also been looking at numerous warranties, though that 1sourceautowarranty place also has a few complaints, here are some links I found:

they are also currently *NOT* a member of the BBB (just checked today).

I've been checking out autowarrantybroker.com

$1,705 for 36 months via their web site, not sure if I really need an aftermarket warranty yet
