What components should a used car warranty cover?

I need to buy a used car, and I'm strongly thinking about a warranty for it. I know that generally all basic warranties will cover the powertrain components, but for a used car what other important/costly components that are prone to repairs on older cars should be covered?

Companies like this seem to have good coverage

And there are others provided by the dealers like this:

Engine and Transmission, Unless you buy a Certified Used Car. Other then that, Engine and Transmission is all is covered, brakes, suspension, drivetrain, bearings, bumpers, paint, windshield, mufflers, exhaust system, wheel alignment arent covered, thoses are all wear and tear.

Get a proper inspection done before purchasing. Most aftermarket warranties are garbage.
