What brand of car? I can look up recalls and service bulletins for ya.

There are aftermarket warranty companies that can extend that warranty for you.  Depending on the brand, model, aftermarket recommendation to follow.

If its a BMW, forget the after-market warranty. ;) (unless they have one that extends BEYOND 200,000 miles.)

No, I was commenting that it'd be nice if there *were* after market warranties exceeding 200k...a joke. :)

Looks like only one recall for your year and make, I couldn't find a Ford TSB resource like we have for BMW's, maybe Ford doesn't want that info out there? (shrugs)  Anyway, go to Edmunds and you'll find a few souces for aftermarket warranties if you do a keyword search.

Heres the lone recall for your car.
Quote
Make:  FORD  
Model:  MUSTANG  
Year:  2001  
Recall Number:  00V349000

Consequence:  
THIS COULD RESULT IN UNINTENDED VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.  
Remedy:  
DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE PARKING BRAKE CONTROL AND INSTALL A PLATE OR OVER-BRACKET TO THE CONTROL TO LOCK THE SELF ADJUST MECHANISM IN POSITION FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENT.  
Notes:  
OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN NOVEMBER 28, 2000.

I've seen numerous idiots who are trying to milk with service bulletins. In 85% of the cases their car is not conserned, for the rest 15% the mods have been allready made.

The Ford Basic Factory warranty should be good for 36 months or 36,000 miles whichever comes first, at least thats what it is on my CV.
I also purchased an extended warranty out to 7 years or 100,000 miles, wouldn't own any automobile today without one that went at least the life of the loan, anything over is cake. I paid $600 for a warranty on my wife's Montero and got $1,400 worth of repairs out of it before it expired.
It's good to be a service writer! Muahahahaaaa

A $100 deductable is awfully low and will make your monthly payments quite high.  Try $500 or even $1,000.

That's my 2 cents.

what you do is disconnect the speedometer cable from the transmision, at the transmision. then attach a a drill via the drills chuck to the speedo end at the trans. run the drill at highest RPMs. this should be racking your miles all the way over so you start at the begining. pick the milege you want. since the odometer has been zeroed and then some. and start dealing with the salesman. im not sure if the new car computers will pick up on that trick.
