Example: I buy mine at 35.5k miles. On their website they give severals options, I choose the 5 year, 125k miles, $100 deductable for $2096. That means I'm getting covered for 5 years or 89.5k miles which ever comes first.

Did a lot of research into this and California puts a lot requirements for companies to offer these warranties in the state so there aren't many, in fact I found warranty direct and GM. GM's exteneded warranty is expensive and doen't extend out far enough for this SoCal driver.
