Mercury Sable and Access Warranty

I bought a used 2003 Mercury Sable, not a dream car, muscle car etc....I use the car just to get to work.

I wanted to be covered against breakdowns and I inquired the dealer about roadside assistance and the dealer proposed me an extended warranty but it was too expensive and I didn't buy it.

I decided to see if I could get a cheaper one somewhere online and requested quote from Access Warranty.

they got back to me very quickly and with a quote I couldn't refuse: I decided to buy the warranty. I paid 55% less than what the dealer asked and I'm fully covered

here's the list of parts covered by the warranty (pasted directly from their website)...rather comprehensive I'd say
