Extended Warranty: How is AAA extended warranty?

[az2md]

I am ready to purchase an extended warranty on my 02 4Matic and AAA is the only one that comes to mind. Any other suggestions? I have looked into the archives and there is not much help there.

Thanks

I have heard good reviews of Warranty Direct.

Thanks for the info. Now they have several different types of coverages. My car is an 2002 4matic and has only 17800 miles on it. What kind of coverage should I choose? Bumper to Bumper or something like:

which is nothing more than this:

Bumper to bumper, there are a lot of electronics in engine control, and 4matic. I dont like non manufacturer warranties, you could end up in the middle if the dealer thinks one way and the insurance another.
