These car warranty people don't like to deal with older cars. Just tell them this is your only car and you use it for driving to work each day over some really rough roads. Pick a brand (if you know a bad one pick that otherwise keep it simple like Ford, Chev or Dodge), it has to be 10 - 15 years old but not too old like 20 or more and a slightly high milage for its age (how many miles do you travel a year times number of years). If they ask if anything is wrong with it tell them about the funny steering or the leak from the engine - something expensive and you hoped to get it fixed under this warranty. Then ask them if it will also cover the big rust spots on the fenders. If they havn't hung up yet ask if they also sell car insurance because you've had numerous speeding tickets and a DUI in the past year and insurance is getting hard to find. At this point they often just put you on their DNC list without you having to ask and no more phone calls. Sounds kind of childish but they initiated the call so don't feel guilty wasting their time.
