I bought a used pickup truck once where the seller tried to get me to purchase an extended warranty which would be good for an additional 100k miles, according to the very persuasive saleslady. I read over the contract and it seemed to say the same thing, but was a wee bit ambiguous I thought. I almost bought it, but decided to call the actual warranty company. They made it clear the contract only was good until the vehicle odometer reached 100k miles, not an ADDITIONAL 100k miles from what it is now. The saleslady pretended to be astonished at this, but I'll bet my bottom dollar she is still selling these contracts the same as before. You just can't be too careful. BT
