Which companies offer warranties on high mileage cars?
I'm buying a Jaguar X Type from a dealer, it has 153,000 miles on it. They're giving me three months warranty. Are there any companies that offer the same?

Because of the mileage an aftermarket warranty will be expensive and restrictive due to the underwriting risk. But if anything goes seriously wrong with the car within six months it it possible that the dealer can be held liable.
