ASC Warranty offers insured warranties on used vehicles, no matter how many mile on the odometer. I personally only use (sell) the power train warranty for 6 months or 6,000 miles - as it can provide peace of mind for just $195. I don't use the warranty as profit source, but other dealers can and do. It is a tool I use every now and then - and is worth having in your tool box. I was introduced to ASC by NIADA
