The Dealer or the bank/Credit Union should offer an extended warranty. I paid for an extended warranty through MPP and it has been great. It cost me $1100 and it will pay for anything (excluding wear items-brakes, tires etc.) bumper to bumper until 100k miles. They replaced my stereo ($700), paid for a rental car while waiting for fuel related parts ($125), Fuel pump ($400), Fuel regulator ($9), Idle Control Valve ($125). The trick was to have them do all of this at once and I had to pay $50 deductible. I still have 45k miles on my warranty. MPP states that it is transferable also, which I think the Isuzu Extended Warranty is not. I really wanted Yellow, and settled for Black because of the deal I got. I still would prefer to have a yellow one, but really love my ebony VX. I really prefer the red/black interior and I don't think that was available on Proton, so I guess it is a give and take.
