My car is going to end its warranty this year and was wondering how much it costs to purchase the extended warranty and do you have to do it before a certain point or just before the original warranty expires?

Would you negotiate through different dealers? I assume that once you purchase a warranty, it can be used at any dealer?
What the time and miles typical for the extended warranty?

You would negotiate at different dealers because you would be offered different prices from different dealers or even different salesmen from different dealers would give you different prices. The warranty is another sales item and the dealers are trying to make a profit. Also, I read somewhere that extended WARRANTY is about 3.5k for only 2 years or 50k miles. the extended maintenance is at lowest 1700.

Hmm.. the extended warranty for 2 years doesn't seem like much. Do you if there's anything specific about the powertrain warranty? (Engine, transmission)

Just make sure you don't let your current warranty lapse while you make your decision or it becomes more expensive!
